More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
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
But I was in awe of the painters I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable
Robert Rauschenberg
Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.
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
I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
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
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
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
My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.
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 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
Curiosity is the main energy.
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
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't think there's anything really wrong with influence because I think that one can use another man's art as material either literally or just implying that they're doing that, without it representing a lack of a point of view.
Robert Rauschenberg
Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.
Robert Rauschenberg
Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.
Robert Rauschenberg
