Subject matter
Similar to other Pop artists, Rauschenberg combined several appropriated photographs to create an image with new meaning. Stunt Man III is the last in a series of three prints. The first is all blue and the second is all yellow; all three of the works contain different source images. Rauschenberg worked with the cutting-edge printers UAEL to create innovative images that pushed the boundaries of the medium.
