I love our old scan of this painting and there’s a version still in the archives of it if you prefer it. Both scans hail from reputable sources, but the old one was insistently red for what was supposed to be a purple painting. While handicapped by the tiny computer lens, you have to put yourself in the frame of mind to realize this painting is in reality ten feet tall. What we can still get even from a scan is the powerfully dark vision that this artwork gives us. Whether you feel it is serene or stormy may depend on you more than Rothko, but it’s exquisite either way.
