Mark Rothko
Abstract Expressionism is often divided into two classifications, one of which is 'action painting' - which is the work typified by Bill De Kooning, or Jackson Pollock - where you feel the action of the artist on the canvas.발음듣기
But you might call it 'still painting,' because, in fact, there's an absence of gesture, or activity, or angst on the canvas.발음듣기
In a Rothko painting, you have three or four zones of different thinly washed layers of color, all interacting with each other in a subtle way - not like bold contrasts - but instead, of almost swimming into each other, to get your eye and your brain working optically to almost immerse your consciousness in these fields that Rothko has created. They may look simple.발음듣기
On the other hand, to really figure out how he created those effects is far more complicated.발음듣기
He's wanting to make a picture which advertises its own mystery, it's solitary quality, it's introspective quality.발음듣기
And I think it's a quality that he wanted to inspire in the viewers who were in the space of his paintings.발음듣기
In the exhibition, we've installed an entire room only of Rothko - and not only for the reason that we have many beautiful paintings to present, but because of this power they have to create an environment, you feel the intimacy of the atmosphere that he has made for you.발음듣기
The point of Rothko's art is to provide a universe for viewers that they don't have in the real world.발음듣기
In fact, one of the quotations of Rothko that's repeated often is, "Silence is so accurate."발음듣기
What he was really doing was extolling the power of an abstract language to say so much more than words could do.발음듣기
I think when you look at a painting by Rothko, you also realize what is meant by the term 'all over,' which is often used in regard to Abstract Expressionist painting.발음듣기
It's not like there is center point - and the edges, or the corners, or the sides are of lesser importance than the core.발음듣기
In fact, the action of the painting - if there is action - is distributed equally from top to bottom, and from side to side.발음듣기
And there is no way that you can complete your experience of that picture without letting your eye wander - or even your body wander - all over the surface of that canvas.발음듣기
You end up feeling like you're in a zone with no gravity - almost that there is not a weight.발음듣기
The reason for that is that he really saw these paintings as something that mattered in terms of the physical presence of the viewer.발음듣기
And he wants the paintings to - not literally begin on the floor - but as close to that as is reasonably possible, so that you're almost standing in the painting, rather than admiring some kind of separate object on the wall.발음듣기
Like many of the artists in the Abstract Expressionist era, Rothko did not want his paintings to be framed.발음듣기
Paintings that were made on easels and then put on frames were understood to be allusions of another scene - of an imagined place.발음듣기
Rothko and his peers did not feel that they were alluding to another space, or place, or time with what they were making.발음듣기
And for that reason, it didn't need the borderline of a frame separating its reality from their reality.발음듣기
