“Non sono un astrattista. Non mi interessa il rapporto tra colore o forma o qualsiasi altra cosa. Mi interessa solo esprimere le emozioni umane di base: tragedia, estasi, rovina e così via.”

Mark Rothko

Mark Rothko: Frasi in inglese

“I use colors that have already been experienced through the light of day and through the state of mind of the total man. In other words, my colors are not colors that are laboratory tools which are isolated from all accidentals or impurities so that they have a specified identity or purity.”

Mark Rothko

Origine: after 1970, posthumous, Abstract Expressionism, Creators and Critics', 1990, p. 173 : working notes, undated

“Like Rimbaud before them, the surrealists abandoned the aesthetic altogether; it takes a certain courage to leave poetry for Africa [as Rimbaud himself did]. They revealed their insight as essentially moral in never forgetting for a moment that most living is a process of conforming to an established order which is inhuman in its drives and consequences. Their hatred sustained them through all the humiliating situations in which the modern artist find himself, and led them to conceptions beyond the reach of more passive souls. For them true 'poetry' was freedom from mechanical social responses. No wonder they loved the work of children and the insane – if not the creatures themselves.”

[Rothko, explaining Seitz his new way of painting during the mid-1940s]”

after 1970, posthumous

“The progression of a painter's work, as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity: toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, and between the idea and the observer. As examples of such obstacles, I give (among others) memory, history or geometry, which are swamps of generalization from which one might pull out parodies of ideas (which are ghosts) but never an idea in itself. To achieve this clarity is, inevitably, to be understood.”
