Robert Rauschenberg: Rookery Mounds

In 1979, Robert Rauschenberg produced a series of eleven lithographs using a selection of thousands of photographs he took near his Captiva Island, Florida residence and studio, marking the artist’s rediscovery of photography. “I became addicted to photography again…The camera heightened my desire to look,” proclaimed the artist. Mundane and familiar images of water and boats, plants, wheels and tires, and draped fabrics gently overlap and weave together in muted violets, browns, grays, pinks and oranges.
