Light Red Over Black
Mark Rothko, Light Red Over Black, 1957, is not about the painting or the painter
Seeing a jpeg image of a Mark Rothko painting serves no purpose. You have to see the painting itself to contemplate its meaning. If all you see is a painting, you are missing the point. A Rothko is all about the mood, the movement, and a connection with the artist.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
