Two Fragments Mounted as One

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork, Two Fragments Mounted as One by artist Robert Rauschenberg, features two red fabric swatches mounted on a beige background. The fabric swatches are rectangular with a rough texture and are arranged one on top of the other, separated by a thin line. Both swatches are a similar burnt red color and have various scratches and scuffs on their surface. The swatches are also slightly frayed at the edges. The beige background is smooth and provides a neutral contrast to the red fabric. The swatches are mounted on the background with a slight gap around the edges, creating a sense of depth. The artist's use of fabric and texture adds a tactile quality to the piece.
