Rauschenberg proposed flatbed or work-surface picture planes as the foundation of an artistic language that dealt with a new experience. The art critic Leo Steinberg described this period of Rauschenberg’s practice as the invention of a pictorial surface that allowed the viewer ‘back in’ amongst the elitist notions of abstract expressionism. Rauschenberg’s desire to use symbols and semiotics were incongruous with available types of pictorial surfaces that were too exclusive and homogenous. As a result, he moved away from the idea of the painting as a vertical surface towards a compositional method that Steinberg called the flatbed picture plane, upon which objects or images could be scattered. “Against Rauschenberg’s picture plane you can pin or project any image because it will not work as the glimpse of a world, but as a scrap of printed material. And you can attach any object, as long as it beds itself down on the work surface.” While the painting of the abstract expressionists was visionary and prophetic, Rauschenberg’s ability to accommodate recognisable objects and present them in a democratically understandable way was extremely revolutionary. Rauschenberg redirected the viewer's attention from the psyche of the painter onto the outside world. Branden Joseph described his artistic position as “anti expressive, anti subjective, and anti authoritarian” that was responsible for a broadening of cultural expression by introducing a radically different point of view. Rauschenberg rejected the concept of the metaphorisation of paint marks for conflict and struggle that was heralded by critics as the true genius underlying abstract expressionism. Instead, he used his materials in a neutral manner, attempting to present facts rather than representations. Using assemblage, he united real life objects, often of three dimensions, together with painting to present a more logical and transparent art. Rauschenberg termed these pieces as combine paintings, which lay between painting and sculpture, some hanging on the wall others resting on the ground. Canyon (1959) blurred these boundaries even further, incorporating elements that exist in real space, such as a eagle, protruding from the canvas, or subject to actual gravity like the pillow that hangs from the base of the piece. Rauschenberg mostly worked within “syncopated grid,” a formal structure where he weighted and 1 Leo Steinberg, “Reflections on the State of Criticism” in Robert Rauschenberg, Branden W.
