Cubierta 1960

This is a Rothko painting, maybe from the late 1960s, made with oils on canvas, and it's all about these hazy rectangles floating in space. It’s like he's trying to capture a feeling more than a scene. I love how you can see the layers in the paint, how the colors bleed into each other at the edges. The surface isn't smooth; it’s got texture, little bumps and scrapes that catch the light. Look at that vibrant red rectangle; it seems to pulse against the darker tones, like a heartbeat. You can almost feel the weight of the black pressing down, making the red glow even brighter. It's not just about color; it's about how color makes you feel. Rothko reminds me a bit of Agnes Martin in his focus on quiet, contemplative space. Both artists invite you to slow down and really look, to find something new each time. It’s like Rothko is saying, "Hey, let’s just hang out with these colors and see what happens." And honestly, that's a pretty cool invitation.
