“
I also like seeing people using materials that one 
is not accustomed to seeing in art, because I think that has a 
particular value. New materials have fresh associations, physical 
properties and qualities that have built into them the possibility of 
forcing you or helping you do something else. I think it’s more 
difficult to constantly be experimental with paint.”

Robert Rauschenberg was born today in 1925. This wonderful quote is from an 
audio recording from the Smithsonian 
Archives of American Art.
