Description
"By the
turn
of the
1950s
Rothko
had
arrived
at the
pictorial
format
which
was to
serve
him for the
rest
of his
career
;
horizontal
lozenges
of
soft-edged
color
hovering
in a
large
vertically
oriented
field
. These
clouds
of
color
were
seen
by him as
abstract
'performers'
possessing
tragic
or
ethereal
demeanors
. In a
sense
, then, they
became
stand-ins
for the
body
,
although
landscape
associations
were also
present
.
Subject-matter
therefore
continued
to be
central
to his
abstractions
but, as with
Pollock
, a
radical
'veiling'
of the
personal
was
enacted
in
favor
of
primal
or
transcendent
invocations.
"
(Excerpt

; "In
Rothko's
abstractions
the
bounds
of
physical
contingency
were
evacuated
in
favor
of a
glimpse
of
impersonal
,
cosmic
imperatives
. The
scale
of the
works
was
calculated
so
that
spectators
could
measure
their
physical
size
against
the
colored
masses
. This
could
lead
to the
feeling
of
being
enveloped
or
transported
out
of the
body.
