"I’m not interested in relationships of color or form or anything else... I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions—tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on."— *Mark Rothko. #MarkRothko was considered an abstract expressionist and well known for his large-scale paintings full of color. Through his work, he wanted to evoke an emotional response from viewers by creating pieces without symbols or recognizable shapes. Swipe to have a closer look at the painting.
