"Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take risks"
-Mark Rothko and Adolph Gotllieb manifesto, published in 1943 in the New York Times.
Anyone who knows me knows, my favorite artist is Mark Rothko. But it always seems to me that he gets overshadowed by other artist in the late 20th century or simply no one knows who he is. This Blog is meant to correct fix that.

“Black was a frequent, sometimes imposing presence in Rothko’s early work (nos. 1–9)—from his expressive figures of the 1930s to the surrealist-inspired canvases of the mid-1940s to the abstract “multiforms” of the late 1940s. Interestingly, black did not play a major role in Rothko’s classic works of the 1950s. Thus his dramatic turn to black in 1964, with the black paintings featured in this exhibition (nos. 10–16), was something of a return, but one whose significance remains mysterious.”
