Mark Rothko (Thanks riskywiver)
“When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet it was a golden age, for we all had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same, it is a time of tons of verbiage activity, consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large, I will not venture to discuss. But I do know that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root and grow. We must all hope we find them.”
Thank you, benjaminhilts.

“His work never comes through in reproduction. No camera could possibly stand in for the old rods and cones. I never understood why people liked him until I stood in front of this massive painting and felt the color vibrate at the edges of my vision. Incredible.”
Thank you, benjaminhilts.
