Mark Rothko In Houston

Museum of Fine Arts, Houston director Gary Tinterow, Rothko Chapel executive director David Leslie, and Menil Collection head librarian Eric Wolf talk about the legacy of abstract-expressionist artist Mark Rothko (1903-1970), and why Houston is currently the ultimate destination city for lovers of Rothko's work. The MFAH is currently showing "Mark Rothko: A Retrospective," an exhibition of more than 60 paintings tracing Rothko's entire career arc, on view through January 24, 2016.

creepy but compelling
I first thought hummppph
then I sat and gazed at the panels and eventually saw depth and movement
finally the creepy Stazi-like docents who had been literally hovering about looking over my shoulder the who;e time (as if) shooed me out
the images remained transfixed in my vision for several minutes
and ultimately
frozen in my mind's eye
I go back the same date and time every year
