More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
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
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
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 prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg

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
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
It is impossible to have progress without conscience
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
I've not been cursed with talent, which could be a great inhibitor.
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
I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended
Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
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.
