i seen the maroon one in madrid 2004. my 1st museum visit ever. never heard of rothko or any that wasnt van gogh, picasso, etc. i walked past, thought, "THIS is art?" i needed to figure out why. walked up to it abt 5 ft away. before i knew it i was 18 inches away. it began to engulf me, i started swaying and vertigo. i felt like i was in it. i had to back away before i fell into a priceless painting. i gave it another go and i was engulfed and stunned that paint has that much raw power. amazing.

Esta hablando de la tecnica de Rothko, aunque dice que Rothko si mismo nunca habló de su tecnica. Dice que son los alrededores las partes más importantes, y que usó un montón de terpentina para que la pintura tendrá transparencia y asi podia montar un imagen con muchos colores en un sitio aunque parece que es muy sencillo. Luego dice que Rothko quería q la gente lloraría enfrente de sus cuadros.

It has been the same for me

Hilarious comment bro. At least Rothko was original.

Me gustaría un traductor de voz. me interesa el tema pero me entero de bien poco.

its all about emotions...rothko was an original artist, his colours are moving towards you or from you, but to be honest, he will never be in the field of the old masters like rembrandt or a caravaggio by his work, but i like his originality
