  8. Proto-pop guy #1:Robert Rauschenberg Rauschenberg understood that the world he lived in was inundated with images, symbols and consumer goods - all of differing meaning, but all connected. Rauschenberg created a style that combined mass media images, issues and found objects with action painting, screen printing and installation sculpture.

His work commented upon notions of the media icon, the consumer, the product and the times he lived in. To him, and his “Factory”, Art was made as a consumer product – it was to be mass produced and easily digested!
