More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended
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
Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
I feel as though the world is a friendly boy walking along in the sun.
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
An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.
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
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
You begin with the possibilities of the material.
Robert Rauschenberg
This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.
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
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
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 impossible to have progress without conscience
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
An empty canvas is full.
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
Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.
Robert Rauschenberg
