"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.

“It’s like looking into something very deep. You could fall in.” So says Mad Men’s Ken Cosgrove while looking at the Mark Rothko painting in Bertram Cooper’s office. That’s a reaction the artist would have appreciated, since he described the work from his most famous period — large-format paintings of blurry-edged rectangles in complementary colors — as “intimate and intense.”
