ABSTRACT
Contemporary artist Robert Rauschenberg (see Plate I), whose work can be seen in major museums, has combined transfers with other media in his wallmounted panel installations, lithographs, paintings on satin and silk, and drawings on paper. Rauschenberg’s series Dante’s Inferno exploits the gradations of tone achieved by changes in pressure from a ballpoint pen when making the transfer. Later, for his Hoarfrost series, Rauschenberg sprayed a fine solvent mist on smooth and crumpled printed images, which he sent through a lithograph press with natural fabrics underneath.
