Layering stain over stain over stain doesn't move me emotionally.... for some reason. I've seen his paintings in person, and I certainly didn't cry.

[lakelet1]

where are the paintings? I can only see blobs on the canvas

i love rothkos paintings... it's a pitty that they lose so much of their greatness in videos or prints. seeing them in reality is imo the only way to enjoy them. anyway thanks for explaining his painting techniques :)
