A look at American art in the 1960s.

Robert Rauschenberg working in his studio, doing pencil rubbings. CUs of his face intercut with images of his drawings. The camera moves alng on the table as he works. CU of his eyes. Holding a framed piece of a work in progress. The camera frequently peeks around a corner, then pulls back.

Rauschenberg speaking to an offscreen interviewer. Rauschenberg and his assistant watching of five illustrated discs revolving on a chassis. Women in a gallery watching the discs, using a small machine to control them. A man with very wide glasses and a thick mustache watches.
