More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.
Robert Rauschenberg
The working process is ideally freeing my mind.
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
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
People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' In the first place I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea it's too limiting, and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.
Robert Rauschenberg
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended
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
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
You can't make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. That's what makes the adventure of painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
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
There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting, and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.
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
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
Robert Rauschenberg
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
Robert Rauschenberg
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
