In Raushenberg's Words
Rauschenberg is, notably, one of the most insightful commentators on his own work. His most famous dictum about working in the "boundary between art and life" is just one the many amusing, insightful, quotable, and inspiring things which he has said about his own works or about art in general. "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 "I think that art is more like the world if it is made out of the world" -R.R. "I usually work in a direction until I know how to do it, then I stop. At the time that I am bored or understand - I use those words interchangeably - another appetite has formed. A lot of people try to think up ideas. I'm not one. I'd rather accept the irresistible possibilities of what I can't ignore." Oracl
