Storyline I (Reels [B+C]) (1968) by Robert Rauschenberg

The artwork, “Storyline I (Reels [B+C])” created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1968, is a collage emblematic of the Pop Art movement and falls within the figurative genre. The composition features an assemblage of photographic images and magazine clippings, layered with bold, overlapping strokes of color—including vivid pinks, yellows, and greens. Notably, the collage presents a distinct pop art aesthetic, constructed through both abstract forms and recognizable imagery such as human figures and objects. Imprinted with an expressive, textured application, the work exemplifies Rauschenberg’s innovative approach to integrating popular culture elements into fine art.
