Visions of memories emerge in a dreamlike haze in this evocative screenprint. Part of a 10-image series, Daze is inspired by Robert Rauschenberg’s life in Florida where he lived and worked. Reflected below the yellow dwelling is water, greenery, and sky. Hints of shadow and areas of paper peeking through the imagery make it appear as though these scenes are painted on. Rauschenberg is known for his inventive spirit and blurring the boundaries between artistic mediums. This innovative approach made him a forerunner of many post-war art movements, influencing generations of artists.
