This is really quite different from all the other Rothko stuff I (and probably most people) have seen and I honestly can’t stop looking at it, the complementary colours here are mesmerising. Which tbf is a quality I would give to much of his work now that I mention it lol.
I do still prefer his later signature work (for many reasons, partly because they’re so distinctive to him and also because it’s amazing to see how much he can do within a pretty simple format). But I love getting this peek behind the curtain into how he came to his eventual style, and seeing some key elements being used as far back as this.
