About this Quote

This quote by Robert Rauschenberg speaks to the idea of being immersed in a painting. Jackson Pollock was an abstract expressionist painter who was understood for his big, gestural works. He thought that the audience needs to be able to experience the painting in a physical way, as if they belonged to the painting itself. This quote suggests that Pollock desired the audience to be covered in the painting, to be surrounded by the colors and shapes and to be able to feel the energy of the painting. This idea of being wrapped in the painting talks to the idea of being connected to the art work, of being able to experience it in a more intimate way. It likewise talks to the concept of having the ability to connect with the artist, to feel the emotion and energy that the artist took into the painting. This quote talks to the concept of being able to get in touch with the artwork in a more significant way, to be able to experience it in a more personal method.
