Painting rectangles and slopping paint around? Come on man. That's some shit I would expect to buy for $5 at a kindergarten fundraiser and the shit sells for $146M with someone trying to tell a back story on a painting that has no logical meaning and then there are people out there that actually argue how they are misunderstood.

I used to think Rothko was just some blotches of paint. If you look closely you will notice very subtle variations in color even in the most monolithic of his blotches. The longer you look, the more you see. With the right Rothko in the right lighting, this process of discovery can persist for more than 10 minutes, with colors slowly revealing themselves every few minutes.
