"The Subway Series" "The Retrospective"
Craft- He juxtaposed large areas of melting colours that seem to kind of float parallel to the picture plane. He was a different painter from everybody who used violent brush strokes. The way this painting looks is that the paint is not even on the picture plane and it is kind of floating above the plane. Kind of three dimensional in a way.
Concept- Rothko was only interested in portraying some sort of human emotion in all of his paintings and to get some sort of emotion out of his fans. When people would look at his art, Rothko would want them to have some sort of emotion come across their face and he would know that he had achieved what he wanted.
Composition- The first thing that I see is the fact that the colours seem to float above the painting plane. The second thing that I see is the people walking down the stairs and the fact that it is some sort of subway. The third thing that grabs my eye is the people in the back, seems to be some sort of ticket sales going on there probably for the subway.
