The artwork titled “Studio Painting” was created by Robert Rauschenberg between 1960 and 1961. It belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and falls within the genre of installation art.
The artwork presents a diptych consisting of two large panels adorned with abstract and expressive brushstrokes in a palette of dark and vibrant colors. A variety of textures and shades are apparent, with a notable inclusion of a small canvas bag suspended between the two panels by a mechanical apparatus. The composition appears dynamic and layered, echoing the spirit of Neo-Dada through its integration of mixed media and unconventional materials, thereby challenging traditional notions of painting and sculpture.
