The artwork titled “SSS (Seed Sack Stack) (Runt)” was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 2007. Executed in the medium of collage, it belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the figurative genre. This particular piece is part of the “Runt” series, which spanned from 2006 to 2008.
In “SSS (Seed Sack Stack) (Runt)”, Robert Rauschenberg employs a collage technique to craft a multifaceted visual narrative. The upper section is dominated by an arrangement of vintage seed sacks, each emblazoned with varied print and imagery, suggestive of agricultural themes and bygone eras. Below, a trio of distinct images capture a serene pastoral scene – a red barn stands at the center enveloped by lush greenery, flanked by a photograph of fluttering flags on one side and a nostalgic poster on the other. Together, these juxtaposed elements weave a complex dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation, encapsulating the essence of Rauschenberg’s Neo-Dadaist exploration.
