@youknowImsaying That's a hugely arrogant comment. Art is the most diverse of topics. It speaks to people in so many different ways. You're comment is entirely nonsense. No one person can define art.

no art here, im sorry

Rothko is so dull. His work is not stimulating. It is "relaxing".
-
@danielbalter They showed them in the beginning.

All that build up about the Seagram's commission and we didnt see it!

'And the reaction in human terms is the only thing that is really satisfactory to the artist' ... a remarkable series, thank you so much for it!

@D4Shawn Those who cannot do, teach. Those who cannot teach, comment on youtube. Thanks for dragging me under the steaming pile where you live.

@Jefferdaughter Who said that? I would never ever tell someone they can or can't critique something or someone, particularly rich people. It's all up for grabs. Get the stick out of your butt.

@kittykgirl what do you know about anything you stupid cunt?

@graphichic - It's been said that if one does not understand clearly a thing such as abstract art, one should not critique it. Does this apply equally to the (near mythical) 'rich'? Especially, perhaps, if one has never had the experience of being one?
the point is that Rothko wanted to resist his work becoming just a fashion piece for rich manhattan collectors. His art was about a paradigm shift, its about humanity itself and it should be more than a passing trend.
