Robert Rauschenberg was born Milton Rauschenberg on October 22, 1925, in Port Arthur, Texas, in America. He began to study pharmacology at the University of Texas at Austin before being drafted into the United States navy, where he served as a neuropsychiatric technician in the navy hospital corps in San Diego. In 1947, he enrolled at the Kansas City Art Institute and travelled to Paris to study at the Academy Julian the following year. Rauschenberg picked up trash and found objects that interested him on the streets of New York City and brought these back to his studio where they could become integrated into his work.

My Statement about the three artists work is:

I think they are all very talented people, great artist. I most like Lichtenstein because of his comics (cartoons), and his art is spectacular!

Lichtenstein's work is easy to recognize because of his use of common items like string, golf balls, kitchen curtains and so on. Lichtenstein used oil and Magna paint in his best known works, such as Drowning Girl (1963). Its my favourite paintings.
