The artwork titled “Untitled (formerly titled Collage with Horse)” was created by the artist Robert Rauschenberg in the year 1957. This piece is an example of the Neo-Dada movement and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork features a variety of elements that coexist in a seemingly chaotic yet deliberate arrangement. On the left, a rough sketch of a horse is visible, likely the origin of the artwork’s former title. The composition includes multiple materials and textures, combining paint, both in vibrant and subdued tones, with other possibly collaged elements like paper and objects. The canvas is predominantly covered in earthy and neutral colors, interrupted by dynamic strokes and splashes of brighter hues such as blue, green, and red. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and eclecticism, characteristic of the Neo-Dada movement, which challenges traditional aesthetic norms and embraces the incorporation of everyday materials.
