“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
