/beautiful book from mark rothko.
/the philosophy of abstract expressionism.

“Art is such an action. It is a kindred form of action to idealism. They are both expressions of the same drive, and the man who fails to fulfill this urge in one form or another is as guilty of escapism as the one who fails to occupy himself with the satisfaction of bodily needs.”
― Mark Rothko, The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art

“A painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience.”
― Mark Rothko
