More From Robert Rauschenberg

All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.
Beautiful Girl War
When i am in a painting, i'm not aware of what i'm doing. it is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that i see what i have been about. i have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. i try to let it come through. it is only when i lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
Giving Trying Etc
The painting is always done very much with [the model's] co-operation. the problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction. you can scrap a painting of someone's face and it imperils the sitter's self-esteem less than scrapping a painting of the whole naked body.
Self Esteem Body Faces
I think i've always been afraid of painting, really. right from the beginning. all my paintings are about painting without a painter. like a kind of mechanical form of painting. like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.
Thinking Robots Kind
People want to know those details. they think it gives them greater insight into a piece of art, but when they approach a painting in such a manner, they are belittling both the artist’s work and their own ability to experience it. each painting i do says everything i want to say on its subject and in terms of that painting, and not all the trivia in the world concerning my private life will give the viewer more insight into it than what hangs there before their eyes. frankly, as far as i’m concerned, even titling a work is an unnecessary concession.
Art Eye Thinking
Studio ghosts: when you're in the studio painting, there are a lot of people in there with you - your teachers, friends, painters from history, critics... and one by one if you're really painting, they walk out. and if you're really painting you walk out.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.
Inspirational Time Tea Drinking
I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though i feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and i dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and i would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
