Mark Rothko
Mark Rothko, one of the most significant and influential artists of the twentieth century, was born on the 25th of September 1903. He was a pioneer of the New York School, predominantly recognized for his mesmerizing colour field paintings of large scale.
‘I am interested only in expressing basic human emotions – tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.’ Rothko believed that the abstract image could directly represent the fundamental nature of "human drama."
In these works, large scale, open structure, and thin layers of colour combine to convey the impression of a shallow pictorial space. Colour, for which Rothko's work is perhaps most celebrated, here attains an unprecedented luminosity.
His classic paintings of the 1950s are characterized by expanding dimensions and an increasingly simplified use of form, brilliant hues, and broad, thin washes of colour. In his large, floating rectangles of colour, which seem to engulf the spectator, he explored with a rare mastery of nuance the expressive potential of colour contrasts and modulations.
Alternately radiant and dark, Rothko's art is distinguished by a rare degree of sustained concentration on pure pictorial properties such as colour, surface, proportion, and scale, accompanied by the conviction that those elements could disclose the presence of a high philosophical truth.
The conceptual artist and photographer Andrea Hamilton seeks to capture the maximum chromatic variation of the sea. Her documentation of the colour she saw at a particular moment at the same location during the day, resulted in the creation of a unique archive of 20 years. Hamilton’s work places light on the seascape, reflected and refracted to respond to pigments in nature. She sets constant parameters of location and distance of tripod from the water’s edge, centring the frame on the horizon line, which has as a result a collection of monochrome and duochrome seascape photographs.

Reading this fantastic book about the New York School and how such a tight knit group of artists was formed. So often we romanticize the past and mistaking Ky think how much easier things were then. In the early 1900s NY galleries didn’t want to show American artists! So they got together and forged their own way. That’s a bit of an oversimplification but it does get you thinking...when times are bad artists have to take things into their own hands! #miltonresnick #newyorkschool #artistcollaborations #artiststakecharge #justthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/CUawqcXv0dI/?utm_medium=tumblr
Untitled, 1951, by Charles Cajori. Cajori was an influential abstract expressionist painter, a founder of the Tanager Gallery, and a founder of the New York Studio School. Like De Kooning, Cajori never fully left the figure. He was highly influenced by Cezanne. Lawrence Fine Art represents the work of Charles Cajori. #charlescajori #tanagergallery @ny_studioschool #abstractexpressionism #newyorkschool #paintingoftheday #modernart #artadvisory #interiordesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CQeSlQvhqFm/?utm_medium=tumblr

here I am on the sidewalk
under the moonlike lamplight thinking how
precious moss is
so unique and greenly crushable if you can find it
on the north side of the tree where the fog binds you
and then, tearing apart into soft white lies,
spreads its disease
through the primal night of an everlasting winter
Frank O’Hara - How to get There (excerpt)
I just finished up the 5th out of 8 weeks "Abstract Expressionists/New York School" online course, offered for free by MoMa. This week was Rothko. I can't wait to get started on a couple of ideas I have regarding his approach. 4th week was Jackson Pollock and this was obviously I spired by him. It was so much fun. It's a mess though; used canvas, mixture of enamel and latex and craft acrylics. Sometimes you just need to play around! Next week is Agnes Martin!❤️ #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractartist #abstractexpressionism #newyorkschool #museumofmodernart #jacksonpollock (at East Flat Rock, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAiOr7Qh2Ny/?igshid=1r50kmrj8fdbj
