More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
It is neither Art for Art, nor Art against Art. I am for Art, but for Art that has nothing to do with Art. Art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with Art.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
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
Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
Robert Rauschenberg
But I was in awe of the painters I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable
Robert Rauschenberg
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
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
My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
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
I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
Robert Rauschenberg
The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.
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
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.
Robert Rauschenberg
Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.
Robert Rauschenberg
I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
