His abstract expressionist canvases are among the most recognizable of all 20th century artists' works. But Mark Rothko (1903-1970) also produced nearly 3,000 pieces on paper - smaller in scale but just as innovative. CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa visits an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., that explores the trail of paper works the artist left behind, and talks with curator Adam Greenhalgh, and with the artist's children, Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko, about Rothko's remarkable vision.

Best part for me: listening to his lovely children commenting on their father's work habits. I get a firm idea of his paternal nature by the tone of their voices when they speak of him.

I love how Rothko's juxtaposes different colors together. I enjoy looking at Rothko's work on paper.

Had the pleasure of seeing this fantastic exhibit. I absolutely loved it. It was a mini retrospective.

Rothko's paintings have such a mellow, 'interpret one's moods however one likes' feel to their color fields, it's no wonder their popularity. Some good ones at the Guggenheim and his non-denominational chapel in Houston as well (I'm surprised the piece doesn't mention after his suicide the landmark decade-long battle between his heirs and his foundation for his works, which formed the basis of a not too good Robert Redford film Legal Eagles. There was also an award-winning play based on his life, Red, of which the American Southwest Theater Company did a poor adaptation of in 2013). Go see the amazing works of Rothko 🎉❤

As I was typing about how I found out about Rothko from Mad Men years ago, the clip came on.

I saw it on HBO a few years back. Wild. The gullibility of the art community never ceases to amaze me. Some of these "world renowned" artists were such charlatans, in my opinion anyway.

@steveconn 5 месяцев назад

Alot of jealousy of great artists, I guess. Rothko paid his dues.

@matthewkopp2391 5 месяцев назад

I don’t think Rothko was a hustler or charlatan. He was commissioned to do huge paintings for a restaurant, But after eating a meal at the restaurant, Rothko abandoned the job, refusing the $35,000 commission and instead donated the works to the Tate museum. His distaste for the commission seems to be because if he accepted it the paintings would be the exclusive audience of the extremely wealthy. “"Anybody who will eat that kind of food for those kind of prices will never look at a painting of mine.”

The “art world” you’re talking about isn’t representative of the art world at large though. Most of us are out here grinding, and so was Rothko. His art didn’t become stratospheric until after his death. It’s the difference between actors doing skilled theatre and the bizarre sphere of Hollywood celebrity. Two completely different things.

I’ve stood in front of large Rothko paintings in person trying to figure out what I’m missing, why some seem to think they are so deep or moving. I don’t get it. There is some abstract art I love but not this. I think these are big color swatches that a few elite art dealers have spun up into money spinners.

Truth be told, I actually like Rothko the man more than Rothko's paintings. However, I do take him seriously as an important part of the New York School. There were better artists working in that period. I recall back in graduate art school attending a small party for our department held in a small upper west side apartment. I cannot recall whose apartment, was it a faculty member's or was it maybe Robert Motherwell's? In any case, hanging modestly on the wall was a very small original painting by Rothko. I met and spoke to a famous man at that quiet party: Alger Hiss of "The Pumpkin Papers" and Nixon prosecution fame. Apparently this is the sort of Left Wing character that liberal artist professors choose to hang out with.

This is the "Emperor's New Cloths". It is not his art that brings people to tears, it is the cultural momentum. "Brutalism" on canvas? Best colored rectangles of the 20th century? I'm good as long as they match the carpet.

@user-uz5k: Think of quiet, and calm, more meditative and Zen like.. For me I have and "obsession" with Clean lines and order, like Frank Lloyd Wright in Architecture, Rothko is soothing and easy to take in.. Does that help..??😊

@robmeyer7985 5 месяцев назад

The Emperor Has No Clothes. Sure you can call it art, just as you can call graffiti, or the rag I clean my brushes with, art. But not all art is of equal value. So-called afficionados of Rothko's art must be ecstatic leafing through the Amazon offerings for argyle socks. Go ahead, troll me. You're all delusional.
