I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.
::: Mark Rothko :::

Rothko is my favorite painter. I got lucky and got to see a major Rothko exhibit at the Tate Modern in London (having already known and loved his work for some time) and I was moved. If you ever get the chance, you really should see it in person. These pieces are enormous and “deep” in a way that is hard to describe.
