I had the opportunity to visit the MOCA museum a few weeks ago for one of my other classes Visual culture and Literacy. I was most interested in Rauschenburg's pieces because of the use of collage-like element and the different materials used caught my attention. I found his "Man in White Shoe" artwork very narrative to his personal life and the height and the use of proportions were visually pleasing. The use of pictures mounted on the top part of the shelf in his "Man with White Shoe" directed movement and a collage-like feeling because of the way it was overlain upon eachother. The use of open space between the three spaces are evened accordingly to the figure and height of the sculpture and the use of arrangement and organization allows the work to be effective because each represents a distinct part. Most of his works seem to be symbolic because the hen and the mirror reflecting the portrait of the man represents a story itself. His pieces are not collective as a whole because it does not directly provide the information to grasp on, but rather his pieces are mysterious and allows the audience to narrate their own story by perceiving the images and pictures placed inside the box.
