Rauschenberg's early works were an attempt to get rid of the stereotypes of 'painterly method' and lofty goals of the traditional art.

Herbs, . stuffed animals - until, . not yet achieved a sense, . that the canvas or the whole composition is about to break out in some other world, . strangely distorted reality,
. Two key works Rauschenberg - collages Bed (1955) and Monogram (1955-1959).

In the 1980's were published several albums photos Rauschenberg, . which were the logical culmination of the frequent use of photographic material in collages and the embodiment of the submission of the author of the world as absurd piling images.,
