I've heard many people say many great things about rothko but I never understood why. The paintings have never connected with me personally. Can you help me appreciate rothko? I don't think I understand their work well enough yet. I would love to know why you love it
by Matisse. I saw this one in person when I went to London for the first time and was absolutely gobsmacked. I don't think I'll ever forget the rush of warmth I felt seeing this piece. I went back to the Tate Modern like three times in as many weeks to see it again and again and again.
On view at MoMA PS1. I went for the first time a few weeks ago and this piece stunned me. The simplicity! Genius. Makes you consider the world around you differently by altering it in the most subtle way - a frame. Could have sat watching the sky change all day. Sounds low lift, but I don’t think the impact can be fully explained without seeing it. It’s worth a visit.
I used to look at it as a kid and feel transported into it. And then one day I was in the National Gallery in DC & I turned the corner and the physical original was right there !! FAUVISM FTW !!
so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
