One of Robert Rauschenberg's artworks that I am very fond of is called Signs, and was constructed in 1970. When the events of the 1960's came to a close, Rauschenberg created this collage as a summery of all that it contained. Entering the new decade, Rauschenberg's artwork is a perfect collaboration of historical events that were important during the American Era. Images include John F. Kennedy to represent his assassination, along with Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy. I think its important that depressing and negative parts of the decade are important to be expressed because they are a crucial part to American history. The art also includes an astronaut to represent a man landing on the moon in 1969.
