The artwork, titled “Trophy V (for Jasper Johns),” was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1962. This piece is rendered in the medium of assemblage and falls under the Neo-Dada art movement. It is classified within the figurative genre.
The artwork embodies a dynamic and layered composition typical of Rauschenberg’s assemblage style. It features an amalgamation of different textures and materials, creating a visually complex and intriguing piece. Central to the composition is a metallic window frame, which stands out against the mixed media background. The background itself is an abstract expanse, predominantly in shades of grey, white, and black, interspersed with patches of color, such as an orange square and a small, subtly colored rectangle to the right, which adds visual interest. This juxtaposition of geometrical forms and textured surfaces encapsulates the experimental essence of Neo-Dada, promoting a dialogue between conventional and unconventional materials and forms.
