Rauschenberg was partner and love of Jasper Johns both seminal figures in Pop Art but here Robert’s roots in his studies at the Black Mountain College reveal his experimental work with abstract materials not only that but his humanity and care for his family (sister Janet) and here fellow student Inga Lauterstein models his costume for her. A Unicorn perhaps?
