Derived from the Latin word for secret, arcanus, the title of these artworks underscores Rauschenberg's ongoing fascination with the esoteric aspects of both the spiritual and physical worlds. The drawings in the series explore the fragmented and layered nature of thought and communication, demonstrating Rauschenberg’s instinctual ability to transpose the human experience into his artistic practice.

 

The Arcanum series manifests Rauschenberg’s enduring dedication to capturing the elusive relationship between images and ideas in his work, underscoring his relentless pursuit of understanding and innovation throughout his career.
