Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.
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
