Lots of Haring

Dewey would appreciate Haring because he displayed his work not just in museums, but in subway tunnels and on buildings.
Robert Rauschenberg "White Paintings"
A little different, Rauschenberg decided to not paint his piece. He left it free of marks of his own. This would be a piece that Plato would say could be interpreted by the audience.
Jasper Johns "Painted Bronze (Ale Cans)
