In the mid-1950s, declaring "there is no reason not to consider the
world as a gigantic painting," Robert Rauschenberg began a series
of radical experiments with what he called "Combines," a term he
coined to describe works that fused cast-off items like quilts or
rubber tires with traditional supports. "Canyon" (1959), one of the
artist's best-known Combines, is a large canvas affixed with paper,
fabric, metal, personal photographs, wood, mirrors and one very
striking object: a large stuffed bald eagle, wings outstretched,
carrying a drooping pillow, and balanced upon a wooden plank
jutting out from the canvas. "Canyon" is one of six Combines in
MoMA's collection, and a landmark work that helped to revolutionize
art in the postwar period. An essay by curator Leah Dickerman
explores the legacy of this extraordinary piece, and places it
within a key period in Rauschenberg's career.
