American Masters Rothko
FYI: I love sharing my favorite artists not just for inspiration but also to educate about their creative processes and thoughts. It’s fascinating to see how some artists still believe that only realism qualifies as fine art, overlooking other forms. I wonder what kind of art history they’re being taught in their school.

“When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no
collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all
had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the
same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which
condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to
discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life
are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root
and grow. We must all hope we find them.”

“It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.”
Date Issued: 1980-09-12 Homage to the Square: Glow postage stamp by Josef Albers.
This stamp commemorated American education and the early establishment of the U.S. Department of Education. The design of this stamp is taken from a painting by Josef Albers, a German -born artist who contributed much to modern art through his investigation of color and light perception. Albers came to the United States in 1933 to teach at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. He later taught at Yale. The culmination of Albers’ artistic development is seen in his famous Homage to the Square series, on which he worked from 1949 until his death in 1976.

“Humans have changed the landscape so much, but images of the sea could
be shared with primordial people. I just project my imagination on to
the viewer, even the first human being. I think first and then imagine
some scenes. Then I go out and look for them. Or I re-create these
images with my camera. I love photography because photography is the
most believable medium. Painting can lie, but photography never lies:
that is what people used to believe.”
