More quotes by 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
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
Robert Rauschenberg
This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
Robert Rauschenberg
It's so easy to be undisciplined. And to be disciplined is so against my character, my general nature anyway, that I have to strain a little bit to keep on the right track.
Robert Rauschenberg
I feel strong in my belief, based on my widely traveled collaborations, that a one-to-one contact through art contains potent peaceful powers, and is the most non-elitist way to share information, hopefully seducing us into creating mutual understandings for the benefit of all.
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
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
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
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 working process is ideally freeing my mind.
Robert Rauschenberg
Most artists try to break your heart, or they accidentally break their own hearts.But I find the quietness in the ordinary much more satisfying.
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
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't think of myself as making art. I do what I do because I want to, because painting is the best way I've found to get along with myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.
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
Even at this late date, I go into my studio, and I think 'Is this going to be it? Is it the end?' You see, nearly everything terrorizes me. When an artist loses that terror, he's through.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
Robert Rauschenberg
