More quotes by 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
Having to be different is the same trap as having to be the same.
Robert Rauschenberg
Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.
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
This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
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
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
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
My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.
Robert Rauschenberg
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
Robert Rauschenberg
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
