Robert Rauschenberg
I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.
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
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
