More quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
And I think that even today, New York still has more of this unexpected quality around every corner than any place else. It's something quite extraordinary
Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
It's so easy to be undisciplined. And to be disciplined is so against my character, my general nature anyway, that I have to strain a little bit to keep on the right track.
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
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
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 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
Having to be different is the same trap as having to be the same.
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
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 prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
Robert Rauschenberg
My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be 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 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
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
My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.
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 used to think of that line in Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl', about the 'sad cup of coffee'.. ..I have had cold coffee and hot coffee and lousy coffee, But I've never had a sad cup of coffee.
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
