More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.
Robert Rauschenberg
I feel as though the world is a friendly boy walking along in the sun.
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
The working process is ideally freeing my mind.
Robert Rauschenberg
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic 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
Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.
Robert Rauschenberg
One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself inwardly, in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it to the point of believing that one might change human beings through painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left to do. Then it is best to leave it alone.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
Robert Rauschenberg
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
Robert Rauschenberg
A canvas is never empty.
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
I've not been cursed with talent, which could be a great inhibitor.
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
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.
Robert Rauschenberg
