From the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City:
From a Tweet by the Met: “Silence is so accurate.” —Mark Rothko, born on this day in 1903. http://met.org/1Wjh0gO
So many take satisfaction in claiming Rothko simple. My experience is museums buzz with alertness wherever his paintings are displayed. Good conversation starters for modern-eras in history, and not just art history.
Mark Rothko was born September 25, 1903, in Daugavpils, Latvia. He defied categorization, but is usually regarded as an abstract expressionist, a member of the New York School.
