They were very much covered by Schama's 'Power", too. I have to admit that I am still trying to plow through Rothko's latest book (post-mortum).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kudos, Gesa.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-84922870051415088342008-11-23T21:01:00.000+00:002008-11-23T21:01:00.000+00:00Cheers, Casey - yes, I figured that you wouldn't s...Cheers, Casey - yes, I figured that you wouldn't see these as horizon lines. I have your Moley with me just now and keep looking at your sketch. It's such a shame that you had to drop out of the exchange - I had been looking forward to seeing more of your work live... they are small, compared to Rothko, but fabulous. I do hope that everythign is going well for you!<BR/>Hm, yes... I hadn't quite thought of it, but yes, Glasgow/Edinburgh, London and Berlin work so well for good exhibitions (and music too). The room with the seagram murals is just overwhelming... in such a sombre way. Fantastic.<BR/>I think the curator's comment was acknowledging MR usually thought of as abs/exp but I think he (curator) resisted the easy reading offof who MR was by looking at his (black/dark) paintings. Have a good look at the the Tate exhibition - they seem to have a of the material online (incl some interviews with the curator)<BR/>Yes: Eardley's are big too - many of the seascapes at least (her paintings of children tend to be smaller); and similar to a room full of Rothko's it works by scale/intensity/immediacy.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-28847195292115030692008-11-23T18:32:00.000+00:002008-11-23T18:32:00.000+00:00I envy you getting to see rooms with Rothkos.

The single one or two that I saw at the MoMA don't do justice to the way he intended them, I think.<BR/><BR/>No, I don't see a horizon, either. <BR/><BR/>I disagree with the curator, although I don't know his complete thoughts on the subject. MR sat with the expressionists for the famous Irrascables photo, but at the same time, he did wish to be unique from the rest - which I think he did. I often wonder why he was so interested in the emotive aspects of painting - so I definitely see him as an expressionist.<BR/><BR/>Are the Eardley's big like the Rothko's?Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.com
