Join David Greenhalgh, the National Gallery of Australia’s Kenneth E Tyler Assistant Curator, International Prints & Drawing, for a morning talk on Rauschenberg & Johns: Significant Others.
Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns are considered two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. While their work is credited with changing the course of American art history, their individual artistic styles are a result of a private creative dialogue that began when they were young artists in a relationship. Deliberately moving against the grain of Abstract Expressionism, the dominant art movement of the time, became the crucible for both their lifelong practices.
Rauschenberg and Johns: Significant Others draws upon the National Gallery’s Kenneth Tyler Collection of prints by both Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns produced between 1968 – 1973.
Hear about the ground-breaking approach to making art developed by two of American art’s most well-known artists and the deeply personal story that underpins their creations.
Please meet us at the front reception of the Ipswich Art Gallery at 9:45am.
