Quote of the Day

“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
