@Chey, no, but I will definitely read it now that you've told me about it. When I was in highschool, I rolled my eyes at Rothko & my English teacher asked me what I'd think about his paintings if they were made with a really tiny brush, or if the paint took hours & hours to mix, etc. Made me realize that I had been treating, at least published / famous, art as some sort of skill instead of a thing that is experienced
One of my regrets is that I didn't get to see the Rothko Chapel when I visited Houston (the whole reason that I went in the first place). I've been printing stuff for the walls of my new room & among of them is some Rothko.
Hey Michael! Have you seen/read the play Red? It's about Rothko. I auditioned for it once and it seemed pretty cool.

or a thing that evokes feeling. Still one of the most important things I've ever learned. I think about it a lot.
