The artwork titled “Susan–Central Park N.Y.C. (III)” was created by artist Robert Rauschenberg in the year 1951. This piece is associated with the Neo-Dada art movement and belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork presents a black and white photograph depicting a serene scene in Central Park, New York City. A woman is comfortably seated against the trunk of a large tree, which has a natural hollow at its base. She is garbed in a long, striped dress and is captured in a relaxed, almost contemplative pose with one arm gently extending into the tree’s hollow. The natural surroundings, including the textures of tree bark and foliage, provide a tranquil backdrop that contrasts with the quiet stillness of the woman, evoking a contemplative or meditative mood. The use of black and white photography accentuates the contrasts and textures, contributing to the overall introspective quality of the scene.
