Robert Rauschenberg
I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
Robert Rauschenberg
Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
Robert Rauschenberg
