More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
The working process is ideally freeing my mind.
Robert Rauschenberg
My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.
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
My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.
Robert Rauschenberg
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
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
I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.
Robert Rauschenberg
People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' In the first place I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea it's too limiting, and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.
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
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
This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
Robert Rauschenberg
A canvas is never empty.
Robert Rauschenberg
The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
Robert Rauschenberg
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.
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
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
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
Robert Rauschenberg
