Rothko was intent upon exploring subjects other than urban and nature scenes. He sought subjects that would complement his growing interest with form, space, and colour. The world crisis of war lent this search an immediacy because he insisted that the new subject matter have a social impact, yet be able to transcend the confines of current political symbols and values.
I enjoy Rothko’s use of colours, and space. I remember seeing he’s work at Tate is made a great impression on me I loved the space they where hung in the atmosphere was so calm and peaceful.
