More art that I "don't get".

Don't worry. I'm sure it's me.

If you really do want to know more about the form and content of Rothko's work, check out my home page for clickable "classes" on many periods in art history. The Abstract Expressionist lecture deals with Rothko.

I didn't like his work right away. I wanted to see the NYC Guggenheim once for its architecture and was initially disappointed to see that it was a Rothko retrospective that was on view. But after I circled through his colors and life, I had a much greater appreciation for his work. There is a breadth of colors, moods, and power in his work that is best experienced in person.

From the Seagram images on line, I had never liked that series as much as his other blocks. But now I am beginning to reconsider after reading this article.

No it's not JUST you. This is some of the most boring cr...... stuff I have ever seen. And yes, I have seen it in person.
