More quotes by 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
This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
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
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
Robert Rauschenberg
I've not been cursed with talent, which could be a great inhibitor.
Robert Rauschenberg
Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
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
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
I think that in the last twenty years or so, there's been a new kind of honesty in painting where painters have been very proud of paint and have let it behave openly.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
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
Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.
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
It is impossible to have progress without conscience
Robert Rauschenberg
I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.
Robert Rauschenberg
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.
Robert Rauschenberg
I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.
Robert Rauschenberg
