Once It's Done

“It’s never bothered me a bit when people say that what I’m doing is not art. I don’t think of myself as making things that will turn into art. I do what I do because I want to — because painting is the best way I’ve found to get along with myself, and it’s the moment of doing it that counts. When a painting is finished, it’s already something I’ve done — no longer what I’m doing.”

— Robert Rauschenberg, Artist
