"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.

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.
“Katharine Kuh, a celebrated American curator and critic and close friend of the artist, recalled that, “No other artist has ever looked less like his work than this overweight, untidy man with his high bald pate, bifocal spectacles, rumpled suit, and shirt half untucked, but when he talked, some of the magic came through.”
Evidently, he was good company. “As a friend, he was both loyal and affectionate, his personality, like his paintings, enveloping you in its amplitude.”“
- From “The Mysterious Tragedy at the Heart of Rothko’s Tranquil Masterpiece” by Martin Gayford. Published by the Telegraph in 2008
