{"product_id":"9780870708947","title":"Rauschenberg: Canyon","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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 \u003ci\u003eCombines\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eCombines\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008691781872,"sku":"9780870708947","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780870708947_p0.jpg?v=1763840232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780870708947","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
