	Mark Rothko
		Yet, two pages further on, Rothko is quoted as hating and distrusting "all art historians, experts and critics" and prone to revising his artistic evolution the better, presumably, to foil such worthies.
		It is certainly true, aside from a few attempts at landscape in his youth, that Rothko is not at all given to bosky bowers.
		With Rothko, therefore, it hardly matters that he turned his colored rectangles on their side the better to achieve architectonic images; they do not work because he is, for all practical purposes, turning Nature and his own nature on their side.

	Mark Rothko - MSN Encarta
		By the early 1940s Rothko had become interested in ancient myths and symbols and was profoundly affected by the theory of the collective unconscious put forth by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
		Rothko saw his paintings as vehicles for communicating a shared repertory of images that are reflective of this collective unconscious.
		In addition, Rothko was significantly influenced by French painter Henri Matisse, whose works sacrificed line in favor of color and were in many cases limited to two or three colors.

	Art/Museums: Mark Rothko exhibition 1998-9 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although Rothko has the reputation of being a poor technician, it is striking that he adopted a number of the thoroughly traditional materials and techniques discussed in Doerner's book, notably the grinding of his own pigments and the use of a variety of egg tempera.
		Rothko's work would move onto to more bizarre landscapes and draw, according to Weiss, "primarily on the subaqueous surrealist images of Yves Tanguy…whose pictures were understood to represent inner landscapes of the mind." "Tanguy's work was accessible during 1945-46 in two exhibitions at the Pierre Matisse Gallery," Weiss noted.
		Rothko's street scenes are also characterized by claustrophobic buildings and somber, sparsely inhabited city squares….The early work of Giorgio de Chirico is generally acknowledged to have left an imprint on these images, although Rothko's idiom has little in common with the modernist's deadpan technique.

	Mark Rothko - Unit
		By 1956 Phillips was searching for a Rothko to purchase for his collection, and in 1957 he held his first group exhibition that included the artist; from this exhibit Phillips purchased Green and Maroon (1953) and Mauve Intersection (1949).
		By 1960 Phillips was prepared to make Rothko's work a focus of installations planned for a new adjoining building to accommodate his collection, referred to as the "annex." When designing the new apace, the Phillips’s designated a specific room for Rothko’s painting.
		Rothko expressed slight dissatisfaction with the arrangement and lighting, and the museum assistants, anxious to accommodate him, made changes on the spot.

	Mark Rothko - Vidal
		Rothko has denied that the fourteen paintings (three triptychs and five panels) for the Chapel stand for the fourteen Stations of the Cross.
		Nor was Rothko unfamiliar with Christian themes: in a sense, the Chapel paintings are non-representational extensions of the symbolism of such early canvases as Crucifixion and Gethsemani.
		There’s something extraordinarily heroic about the way Rothko dedicated himself to the spirit of painting, a spirit which grew darker as the years went by, until in the end it was almost invisible.

	Mark Rothko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rothko was using fields of color in his aquarelles and city scenes and his subject matter and form was, by this time, decidedly non-intellectual, of formal concern, though the composition betrays a deep intellect.
		Rothko seemed to have reached an illumination concerning the progression of his later works; however it is to the next period we must turn our attention, before proceeding to the mature, rectangular fields of color and light that either culminated or self-destructed in the Rothko Chapel.
		Rothko, in the middle of a crucial period of transition, was impressed by Still’s abstract fields of color, influenced in part by the landscapes of Still’s native North Dakota.

	How Rothko's Seagram murals found their way to London \| Arts critics \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Rothko looked like one of the survivors, and was even insidiously caricatured as a careerist, a bit of a fraud, who had turned the rigour and extremism of abstract expressionist painting into something luscious, colourful, decorative and profitable - until that morning in 1970.
		Rothko's remarks to Fischer are a frank revelation of what the Seagram murals are about, and yet all too often discussions of these paintings gloss over Rothko's confession as if it were trivial.
		Rothko was deeply familiar with the Roman wall paintings from Boscoreale in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and he studied closely Nietzsche's The Birth Of Tragedy, which contrasted the Apollonian and Dionysian principles.

	Rothko Chapel; Why Patterns?
		The Rothko Chapel is a spiritual environment created by the American painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970) as a place for contemplation where men and women of all faiths, or of none, may meditate in silence, in solitude or celebration together.
		While I was in Houston for the opening ceremonies of the Rothko Chapel, my friends John and Dominique de Ménil asked me to write a composition as a tribute to Rothko to be performed in the chapel the following year.
		Rothko's imagery goes right to the edge of his canvas, and I wanted the same effect with the music - that it should permeate the whole octagonal-shaped room and not be heard from a certain distance.

	Ramez Qureshi Rothko and the Sublime
		One simple cannot view a reproduction of a Rothko the same way by which one stands before it: indeed, Rothko instructed his viewers to stand two feet away from his paintings in order to receive the right effect.
		Now of course Rothko is not "formless," yet he is not naturalistic, so the formless is not conveyed: it is represented, the sublime redoubled in an overwhelming sublimity which says that the object will make the viewer experience the sublime from the outset.
		The viewing of the sublime in a Rothko is not a mere subject put into utrmoil confronting an object but specifically a subject put into turmoil confronting an object made by a subject in turmoil.
