Rauschenberg is a prolific example of this, often using so many different methods that it’s difficult to distinguish just how he assembled an image — and this is part of what makes his work so compelling. Newspaper cuttings, brushwork, handwriting, brown paper, maps, masking tape, a motley crew of letterpress type and xeroxed transparencies are amongst just a few of the elements he enlisted to create his undeniably powerful pieces. When it’s all nailed in place by means of an offset lithograph print as it’s final incantation, the magic gets transferred and the comparison against digital printing is inarguable.
