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
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.
Robert Rauschenberg
The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
Robert Rauschenberg
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.

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