More quotes by 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

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.
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
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
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
The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
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
