    Could you do a longer more in-depth how-to of Rothko, as you did with Agnes Martin & de Kooning? He's such a fascinating artist and 3 minutes doesn't do him justice. Thank you.

    Okay, I just want to say something. I am an art historian and an aspiring artist and I have a degree in both field (just for 'credibility' sake and saying that I am probably the person people would expect to loooooveeee art and every single art work). I just wanted to say that you don't have to like every single painting, you need to have your own view. If you like most of them, it's fine, but just because you don't like them doesn't mean that you "don't know art", it just mean that you don't like that particular work.

    Inthe 80s i experienced a Rothko retrospective at MoMa. I was alone in the halls and could take my time and really look without distraction. From hall to hall i began to sense I was looking at an autobiography, much like Rembrandts self portraits, I felt i was understanding his emotional life from age to age and I found myself side Lu and spontaneously weeping. I was crying in a museum.
    And then a smile would come to me in the next bright yellows, oranges, reds..... But in the last hall, among these enormous titans, these portals into what I felt was other worldly there hung a solitary dark black painting which may have been his last, as it ended the exhibit. It caught me by surprise and gasped I recall until I quite literally sobbed.... as if, as if I was in the presence of the death, of the leave taking of a friend. Rothko from then on has been my beloved favorite.

    i seen the maroon one in madrid 2004. my 1st museum visit ever. never heard of rothko or any that wasnt van gogh, picasso, etc. i walked past, thought, "THIS is art?" i needed to figure out why. walked up to it abt 5 ft away. before i knew it i was 18 inches away. it began to engulf me, i started swaying and vertigo. i felt like i was in it. i had to back away before i fell into a priceless painting. i gave it another go and i was engulfed and stunned that paint has that much raw power. amazing.

    Wonderful video, MoMA. The "DIY Rotho" segment at the end was well done. Judging by the comments below, it's obvious Rothko either works for you or it doesn't. Love it or hate it. And, as always, the haters are quite violent, the sort of people who'd happy to slash a canvas because other people enjoy it - and they don't.
    I'm an artist, by the way - very traditional and completely anti-avante garde. I hate - HATE! - the sort of stuff which wins The Turner Prize. My own idols are Rembrandt and Klimt. I'm a stuffy academic painter. I do landscapes and the trees need to be painted the way I see them. I use rulers and straight lines. That said, I find Rothko's work incredibly moving. I shouldn't. He's the enemy.
    There's no accounting for taste - even one's own.

    The same as there seem to be people who don't feel (or know the existence of) the beauty of let's say Strawinsky's music, not all people feel the beauty and depth of Rotkho's work. I feel blessed I do. His work now is exhibited in The Hague. Can't wait to see that!

    Many years ago, an art gallery in Toronto paid a small fortune for a Rothko. So a newspaper in Toronto had a contest with kids doing paintings in a Rothko style. The sad truth was that for several of them, when a Rothko painting was placed among them, almost no one could tell the difference. lol

  • @timstangohr7859
    @timstangohr7859 2 года назад +2

    This is as close to kinetic art as a flat work can be. The people who hate it, likely have never seen a Rothko work in person, and taken the proper time to immerse themselves in full observation of it.

    I am always reminded of the organic quality of his color's interactions. For myself, it is the subconscious and the animal in nature. Great forces of instinct towards creation and destruction are at play. Human violence and peace are in direct opposition, and people become the casualties in the conflict. Rothko is an intellect of legendary importance because he used human nature as his subject. Rothko is eternal.

  • @sophieb2510

    I saw some of Rothkos work for the first time in the Tate when I was fifteen, and I remember audibly gasping when I saw them. Their huge scale and the richness of the colours was so gorgeous, and they had this sort of tranquil suspense (I don't know how else to describe it) that did make me feel really emotional. Yes, the concept can be seen as pretentious and a bit of bullshit, but I still love his work

  • @greenghost2008
    @greenghost2008 6 лет назад +32

    Rothko is an emotional thing. You either have an emotional reaction to it and love it or you feel nothing. Just because you feel nothing doesn't mean Rothko's style doesn't have meaning to those who do feel things looking at Rothko paintings.

  • @CoolThisIsMyUsername
    @CoolThisIsMyUsername 7 лет назад

    I think the true power of Rothko's paintings of this nature separates the over-generalizers from those whose inclination is to find the beauty in the odd and to look for connection or tether. Frankly, it's a brilliant way to expose the ruthlessly critical, if not lazy, a-hole, while at the same time complimenting the aesthete.

    My parents were both artists and dragged me all the time to see these stupid boring big squares of whatever paint the guy had left over. So boring.
    Then, one day years later I saw a huge blue Rothko. I felt like I was falling into the color, and I saw many many different pools of color variance. It was pretty shocking. Years after that, I tried painting like this. It was far harder than I had imagined it would be, and only now do I understand why this work is so important.

  • @angalbgarher
    @angalbgarher 6 лет назад +8

    To appreciate a composition like this, you actually have to know things. Some people just see a wallpaper, but as I try to educate myself on the contemplation of art, I feel able to proceed to greater questions. Like why red, and why that red, which on its own, is a color and a word that tell a story. The purity of that story, and how honestly it is told by Rothko, let me admire him more and more.

    I advise people to look after earlier abstract compositions from Rothko. There you see if you had doubt that he was talented and expressed deep complex feelings, and he was not just doing stanns of colors. (if you were a sceptic or hater)

    You only think it's easy because Rothko has done it and it has been successful. The equivalent of how easy it is would be for you to go get a paint brush and paint the next big thing. Looking back and judging how simple something like a reverse engineer completely misunderstands how complex it was to produce this in the first place. That's like a scientist proclaiming "oh yeah i see how nature did it, pretty easy".

  • @wegotlumpsofitroundtheback5065

    I was just at the MOMA this past weekend and saw this painting, Red Brown and Black. It's huge and it's absolutely startling and very emotional to see in person. But as I stood very close to it seemed to me that Rothko did not use a varnish to coat it when he was done. The other Rothko's hanging nearby seemed similarly untreated. Is this the case? The Pollack's also seemed untreated by varnish.

    The more of these I see the more apparent it becomes that the fascinating thing about these paintings is the person justifying the painting as a good work of art, not the painting itself.
    Critics and lovers of this sort of art seem to be missing that what they are doing is meditating. They are focusing so hard on one item that they start to see subtleties that they interpret as profound and make up a narrative in their mind that justifies the idea that this is good art.
    What they miss in not realizing this is that the same effect could be achieved by staring at textured drywall, carpet, a patch of dirt or grass, etc. These paintings are not evoking responses in people because of a grand vision of the artist, they are evoking responses because some people choose to pay very close attention to them.

    Busy world ...much outrageous stress....often still late in the day ( life) still coming down off the ceiling... so unwinding before art works is an item of restoration ....Rothko ...well given a bias of stress...I Would ..I believe..seeing a Rothco work.. ( and there are often I recall many images of them out and about here and there all over...).... simply float off the surface of their visual presence....rather than understand that they themselves in their images are of floating forms . Connecting....here with much deeper subtly is a reward of certain guidance . Coming to rest emotionally before the work is an invitation to fine tune inner emotional harmony till well .

    Esta hablando de la tecnica de Rothko, aunque dice que Rothko si mismo nunca habló de su tecnica. Dice que son los alrededores las partes más importantes, y que usó un montón de terpentina para que la pintura tendrá transparencia y asi podia montar un imagen con muchos colores en un sitio aunque parece que es muy sencillo. Luego dice que Rothko quería q la gente lloraría enfrente de sus cuadros.

Begin to refer to yourself as an Artist, in your private thought talks and social conversations, as this will build the energies around your self perspective and enhance the desired outcomes in the Now.
