More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.
Robert Rauschenberg
This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.
Robert Rauschenberg
Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.
Robert Rauschenberg
It's when you've found out how to do certain things, that it's time to stop doing them, because what's missing is that you're not including the risk.
Robert Rauschenberg
Most artists try to break your heart, or they accidentally break their own hearts.But I find the quietness in the ordinary much more satisfying.
Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
I've not been cursed with talent, which could be a great inhibitor.
Robert Rauschenberg
Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.
Robert Rauschenberg
Having to be different is the same trap as having to be the same.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't think of myself as making art. I do what I do because I want to, because painting is the best way I've found to get along with myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't think there's anything really wrong with influence because I think that one can use another man's art as material either literally or just implying that they're doing that, without it representing a lack of a point of view.
Robert Rauschenberg
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself inwardly, in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it to the point of believing that one might change human beings through painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left to do. Then it is best to leave it alone.
Robert Rauschenberg
There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself it revolved around words like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .I could never see these qualities in paint - I could see them in life and art that illustrates life. But I could not see such conflicts in the materials and I knew that it had to be in the attitude of the painter.
Robert Rauschenberg
Even at this late date, I go into my studio, and I think 'Is this going to be it? Is it the end?' You see, nearly everything terrorizes me. When an artist loses that terror, he's through.
Robert Rauschenberg
And I think that even today, New York still has more of this unexpected quality around every corner than any place else. It's something quite extraordinary
Robert Rauschenberg
Curiosity is the main energy.
