    Artworks and analysis: Mark Rothko painted soft, rectangular forms floating on a stained field of color that were heavily influenced by mythology and philosophy.



Mark Rothko, r.i.p.


Dark colors throbbing in horizontal bars and squares

abstracting   recurrent  nightmares and despairs,

hanging in a  luxury tower frequented by CEO's talking of deals

but  then ignored while consuming expensive drinks and meals?

"Hell No",

said Mark  Rothko,

who felt that life is too often  black

and threatened by mindless attack. 



So, instead of  being in such a swanky, but   doomed,  room,

they were  removed ,perhaps with eerie foresight, 

to later grace an evocative tomb

in Houston, for all to see   

 while pondering the mystery

of why a man  so artistic  and intellectually  bright,

refused to allow himself  more life and light

and, instead, preferred  an eternal night. 


And it's much  too sad,  in all of this ,

 that he never took  a few lessons in bliss

from such fellow  Maitres, as   Marc Chagall or Henri Matisse.
