The Art of Darkness

Rothko committed suicide in 1970 and he didn't see the completion of this thing. I don't know when he completed the canvases, but the truth he was seeing, the part of the human spirit he was representing was the darkness. So whatever you bring to that place, to those paintings, to the art of darkness, you can reflect in that. And it's a hell of a foundation to see your life against. It might be the purest vision of your life and who you are framed against darkness, against the abyss, against oblique, unforgiving universe.
