I'm doing some writing today and have a few Rothko painting images open on my desktop - I enjoy their energy and, though some of the colours are bright, rather than distract they seem to draw and wrap me into a thoughtful zone.
I think Mr Rothko would have considered that a job well done!
I adore the quiet, strong nature of these works - their placement in nature, seemingly devoid of human habitation, seems to turn up the volume on the statements and questions...
