More From Mark Rothko
We Favor The Simple Expression Of The Complex Thought. We Are For The Large Shape Because It Has The Impact Of The Unequivocal. We Wish To Reassert The Picture Plane. We Are For Flat Forms Because They Destroy Illusion And Reveal Truth.

I'm Not An Abstractionist... I'm Not Interested In Relationships Of Colour Or Form Or Anything Else.

The Reason For My Painting Large Canvases Is That I Want To Be Intimate And Human. To Paint A Small Picture Is To Place Yourself Outside Your Experience, To Look Upon An Experience As A Stereopticon View Or With A Reducing Glass. However You Paint The Larger Picture, You Are In It. It Isn't Something You Command.

I Will Say Without Reservations That From My Point Of View There Can Be No Abstractions. Any Shape Or Area That Has Not The Pulsating Concreteness Of Real Flesh And Bones, Its Vulnerability To Pleasure Or Pain Is Nothing At All. Any Picture That Does Not Provide The Environment In Which The Breath Of Life Can Be Drawn Does Not Interest Me.
