Judgment
The Call: White and Red — Cheryl
I chose this image from all the ME/ICM ones I took today, because it reminds me of the work of Mark Rothko and the conversations my son and I have had about Rothko’s paintings. Luke can’t stand them, judging the works to be less than art. I long for the chance to see a Rothko original and spend time with it. The funny thing is that I would have shared Luke’s opinion ten years ago. I’ve learned a great deal since then, though, including the wisdom of not rushing to judgment.
Another mesmerizing one! It is very Rothko-ish, which I like too. Last winter when I was at the National Gallery, I was about to take a shot of the Rothko they have when the guard immediately called out “no pictures!” ; (
Did you know that it was a Dominican priest that advised the Menil’s to purchase Rothko’s work and ultimately build the Rothko chapel in Houston? I find that connection to be so interesting!
