<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 14934, member: 37&quot;]I think you may be confusing Rothko with Jackson Pollock. Not a scribble to be found in Rothko&#039;s work. I love Rothko but hate Pollock. Pollock seems to be more about the method than any thought of composition. What I have found with most art and, particularly with abstract art, is that one needs to see it up close and personal. Looking at a picture of a Rothko leaves you feeling flat. In person, there is a quiet presence about Rothko&#039;s work. Agree that Pollock&#039;s work is just a jumbled mess.</p><p><br /></p><p>After writing the above, I did a little reading and found</p><p>an essay comparing Rothko and Pollock. Seems they share some similarities in how they worked and related to their art. Maybe I just don&#039;t like the inner self that Pollock expressed.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.michellemckdavis.com/Essays/rothko_v__pollock.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.michellemckdavis.com/Essays/rothko_v__pollock.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.michellemckdavis.com/Essays/rothko_v__pollock.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
