Very good comments there at the end. Rothko used to emphasize that he was not an abstract painter which can be understood that he wasn't creating an abstraction of anything. The painting was what it was, and as she pointed out the viewer completes the circuit.
Rothko was a great artist. His paintings leave us asking more questions than discovering answers or a sense of enlightenment. Whereas some famous artists paint well, but we forget their works after five minutes. Love him or loathe him, one cannot ignore him.
People are fond of saying "I could do that when visiting an abstract expressionist exhibit". I never thought I could do anything approaching one of Rothko's works, but I thought I'd like to try. So I did. More than once. Not even close.
I was honestly not a believer until I saw one of his pieces at the Crystal Bridges museum in Arkansas whilst on LSD. Oh, my, that was a revelation. Amazing use of color. Cheers!
Rothko illustrated “solitude”, “prayer”, “spirit”, “meditation”, “quiet”, “sorrow”, and “loneliness”...seeing his work changed my life. He embraced deeply life’s most elusive themes.
nothing comes across in video or in print. Go to Manhattan... save and save... go see them in person at MOMA. The RED Rothko painting I saw there..... blubbered.... just fall into the colour... brings out the primordial ooze..red.. the red of REDS...deeper... deeper.....
Rothko’s paintings get progressively mournful and bleak. Hope diminishes as reality sets in. Colours darken. And like a dying sun, or a once vibrant flower, the final form is inevitably quiet.

I am infinitely impressed by Rothko ...
Narration fits very subtle the subject, complimented by the omission of background music! Art education video as artform in it self!

Thank you Ann. I have been inspired and have six miniatures on the go. 16x20 canvas sheets. Love his work
Thanks.
She said there is Action painting and Rothko comes under Still painting. I always heard or read Rothko's paintings being called Color Field painting
This is the best rothko explanation ever!
0:58--my favorite Rothko picture.

Excellent presentation!!!
Thanks for the video
Brilliant! Thank you.
Love Mark Rothko arts
It provokes a kind of nostalgia.
Nice and subtle, like his style
It’s either blocks of colors or our own association with the colors that create a scene
Beautiful
Colour is everything
4:20. does anyone know the name of the black painting on the left? It's famous but I forget its name.
looks like clyfford still to me i don’t know the name but it would makes sense for clyfford still to be there as another abex painter
GREAT WALL PAPER. GREAT TABLECLOTH!!! 😆 🤣

Ghost inside the works

Second!
Essas traduções na frente do vídeo isso é ridículo !!!

I thing he did abstract because he could not paint. This is not art. He is laughing at us.
