Robert Rauchenberg, an abstract expressionist artist of the 50's and 60's most popularly know for his pop art and combines, wherein he'd combine painting and sculptures. I think he's pretty rad.
"I refuse to be in this world by myself. I want an open commitment from the rest of the people."
"It's when you've found out how to do certain things, that it's time to stop doing them, because what's missing is that you're not including the risk."
"There's a moment for everyone when you fall into your own shadow, and the fact is, that it's your shadow, and you're forced to live in it. And this is nothing to celebrate or not celebrate. It simply is."
"I don`t mess around with my subconscious."
"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."
"You have to have time to be sorry for yourself to be a good Abstract Expressionist."
"If you don`t have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble."
