A Rothko Experience
Erica from small shop has a great post over at La Dolce Vita discussing Mark Rothko paintings. I recommend you take a read. Here’s a sample:
1) Rothko was deeply influenced by color theories first developed in the 17th & 18th centuries; 2) His paintings were quite large in size, and were meant to be viewed “up close and personal”; 3) It was Rothko’s intention that viewers have a sensory experience with his paintings.
White Center (Yellow Pink and Lavender on Rose), 1950 *Formerly owned by Rockefeller, this painting recently sold for $72.8 million!
