I remember seeing a video of Sister Wendy talking about Rothko. She talked about it like it was magic.

Can't argue with the Classics.

Sometimes, with ‘modern’ art (which can be more than a hundred years old), you have to see the originals. Albers’ “Homage to the Square” paintings don’t look like much in reproduction, but the originals just kind of hang there in midair and glow. There’s no comparison.

And I was in Amsterdam once with someone who is a curator for the Brooklyn Museum, and we were looking at a Mondrian. She told me that it would be a whole different painting if the yellow square were over here, pointing to one of the white squares.

Please!
