Mark Rothko Light Red Over Black 1957: © Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko
Seeing a jpeg image of a Mark Rothko painting serves no purpose. You have to see the painting itself to contemplate its meaning. If all you see is a painting, you are missing the point. A Rothko is all about the mood, the movement, and a connection with the artist.
