"To us, art is an adventure into an unknown world of the imagination which is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense. There is no such thing as a good painting about nothing. We assert that the subject is critical." - New York Times (June
1943), Gottlieb, Rothko, and Newman
No. 13 (White, Red, on Yellow), 1958Mark Rothko
Rothko said, "I paint big to be intimate." The notion is toward the personal (authentic expression of the individual) rather than the grandiose.
