- In this video I want to take a look at interpretations of abstracts. After we did the last show, I got to thinking about it some and realized that interpretation is not necessarily limited to actual objects, people or locations. What if we look at how abstracts such as shape and line are interpreted by visual artists.
I was reminded of the exhibition at Pace Gallery in London a few years ago that paired Hiroshi Sugimoto up with the late "dark paintings" that Mark Rothko produced in 1969. The answer is here.
I still really love this idea - we'll be back to explore this theme in coming episodes.

Ted, what a fantastic episode! I once stood in front of a Rothko, about 3 inches away and it was a wonderful experience.
LOVED this. So good to see combining the work from the past, which you do so well, with the new, too. Well done!
I can't believe I didn't know about this exhibition at all.
I love them both so much and funnily enough I never thought of them as 'similar'.
This just blew my mind :D
thanks for the heads up ;)
I'll try and get my hands on that book too.
Cheers
This is actually very interesting, learning to see endless variety in objects, whether to paint of photograph. It reminded me to the fact that we, musicians, and I speak of performing artists in the classical 'field', only look to the same 'objects', in our case: scores, and that our audiences are waiting eagerly for this or that accent or view that is being given to the same music they know so well. For instance, when I play Beethoven's Pathetique sonata, the one video you were so kind to refer to, Ted, people start to respond to my choice of instrument (that many of them like to be explained in a historical context as well), choice of tempo, accentuation, etc... It is as photographers over time photographed the same objects over and over again, and we today would have different interpretations, where the tool (gear) is an important factor of the interpretation as well. You would (and actually: you have!) photographers returning to old processes, for reasons of expression. it is different in music, of course, since only the choice of instrument is referring to the performance of music in a way the composer could have heard or not, that's a choice to make, but there are many similarities. If only I could speak English as fluently as you, Ted, I'd start immediately a series of episodes parallel to yours with music! Great episodes, as always!

Excellent idea Ted, I like these interpretations. Thank you.
Rich Klein Thanks Rich!
Very interesting, both had a keen eye for conveying/capturing depth.
Two excellent artists, thanks for this.
Cool book! I’ve always been attracted to Rothko’s work. I really need to see it in person some time.
I love the comparisons here. I also loved your interpretation of it - especially your connection to emotion of it here. Because I feel a sort of sensuousness when I look at photography that I like. Also, Ted - I'm sorry about last time maybe I sounded a bit negative or vehement when I was talking about how nothing is original. I didn't know any better and I think that may have been just all my anger focused from a lot of people who didn't know what they were talking about and were so confident about it. So again, I'm sorry. That was immature on my part, but anyway lovely episode. I'll check out more of Mark Rothko now. His work has the essence of a message in a bottle or at least that's how it makes me feel.
Joe No need to apologize!
I'm sure Sugimoto's seascapes in person are so rich with detail and beauty
Random timing! I've just linked both Rothko and Sugimoto to a college project I'm doing with Polaroids.
Hi Ted.. GREAT show(s), loving the last couple of interpretation vids. Something came to mind when watching the previous video (when you mentioned abstraction), what happened to the 'creative process' series you were doing (started at episode 200)? I was very excited to see this journey.
Anyway, thanks for the awesome information!
Two of my Favorite Artists, similar but so different, Thank you, any idea where the book might be available?? Thanks Ted.
Amazon has a few left. Link is in the description. eBay or Powells might be a good option too.
The Art of Photography Thank you.
Oh Rothko and Sugimoto, - what a special treat. I have this book on my wishlist...
What does it mean that these two masters showed interest, well, or shared an obsession, with these segmentations/lines/moodscapes? What does it tell us about 'the world'?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh Dear Ted Forbes , You've done it again another book for me to add to my wish list and buy at a later date! My wife's going to kill me! LOL
I hope and now work in an abstract way but with photography as the medium. Specifically "mobile". I found that it sensitized my thinking about image making to the basic color, line and form relationships. I think this is an area I am so glad you cracked the door on because it truly expands the boundaries of photography. Thanks again.

Love them both. But I still think photography is more limited than painting. As a medium, painting somehow can be more organic and has a wider latitude than photography.
