"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.

I thought in a sense the seriousness of his [Rothko] demeanor was because of his inner conflicts and I wonder if this didn’t play apart in his later life, I mean this constant aspect of being unresolved in this life. Whether or not he believed in what he was doing is a question as far as I’m concerned.
Sidney Schectman
Gallery owner, involved with the artist group The Ten of which Mark Rothko was a memeber. The quote refers to Rothko’s early works.
