“To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless,
too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing,
what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that…Painting is another form of thinking.”

“I am not an abstractionist.. .I am not interested in the relationships
of color or form or anything else.. .I’m interested only in expressing
basic human emotions — tragedy, ecstasy, doom and so on — and the fact
that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures
show that I communicate those basic human emotions.. .The people
who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I
had when I painted them. And if you, as you say, are moved only by their
color relationships, then you miss the point!”— Mark Rothko

“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this.”
