@texasB666 How was Rothko greedy, he struggled for years until he had any real success and when it finally did come, he committed suicide. His paintings are inner-expressions of emotion that you're supposed to draw from the painting. If you ever see one of his pieces in real life, you'll understand that they absorb you. In my opinion, Rothko's paintings are some of the most unpretentious meditations on what a basic human reaction to art is.

@texasB666 Are the A and the E swapped around on your keyboard? You seem to be typing a lot of A's where they should be E's.

I also don't understand most of your post, especially the word 'preasing'

@texasB666 threatened by art? ... sort of an odd phobia ... good luck with it.

@draoi99 feel better now?

[erikhuss]

this is about colour as material, about creating space, about process and about lowering, about violence through erasing, showing what's behind, about covering and revealing, about figure and ground merging and activating the surface it is sitting on.... all absolutely overpowering once you get a hang on the theory - bowls one over. and I agree with Marden: Ryman is the modern day Vermeer

that looks hard to paint...

[draoi99]

Fucking shite.

The white could be annihilation; the black something constrained and tight.

@texasB666

Wrong

[texasB666]

lot's of pretentious artsy people will not like this: Most modern art is utter childish shite. And don't gimma the ' well why won't you do it than and stop complaining.' Fuck you. I'm no artist. Most artists don't even know what that term 'art' is so... Lets keep it that way and stop preasing the Pollocks of the world. When art becomes greedy it dies..
