I know it’s not directed at me, but for me at least, it obviously changed my opinion of Rothko in one fell swoop. Secondly, it taught me never ever to judge a painting by its representation as a reprint or on the web. Thirdly, it’s the closest I’ve had to a truly religious experience in the last twenty or so years. I’m not a religious person, but if I were, Rothko would be proof to me that artists talk to gods.
