Painting God indeed. I love his work, never realised he had a Scorpio Moon but it fits perfectly. He stripped away everything extraneous till he reached the pure essence of colour itself. Hah. Excellent 🙂
One of the most mind-boggling shows I’ve ever seen was a huge Rothko retrospective in DC many years ago.
Sorry I missed that show.
A few blobs of color shouldn’t make the head explode with a new sense of the potential of existence. But there it is.
BAAAM!! this is tantric color…tuned in to elemental energy…Thanks again, Christina, for your artful posts attuned to the moment!
