Abstract
The article presents the results of a biographical study of the life of an American avant-garde artist R. Rauschenberg, who from the late 1950s to 2007 participated in the implementation of postmodern projects by choreographer M. Cunningham and composer J. Cage. The mindsets of J. Cage and M. Cunningham regarding postmodern dance are examined, the rules and principles of creative activity observed in the dance company of M. Cunningham are revealed. The degree of influence of the personality and talent of M. Cunningham on the personality and talent of R. Rauschenberg and vice versa is analyzed. A brief description of the programs of some of the most significant joint choreographic productions of Cunningham, developed and implemented in collaboration with the artist R. Rauschenberg and composer J. Cage, is given. The conclusion is drawn about the independent significance and value of Rauschenberg’s experimental artistic activity for the theory and practice of postmodernism.
