I've noticed that the Chapel can have that effect on certain viewers. Like I noted, it has a peculiar way of working on the imagination. Personally, I find that it reveals increasing imagery and a kind of perpetually expanding field of view with each visit, almost as if you are looking through a window into the depths of a subtly shifting universe.

Well said.

I think the important thing is to keep one's mind open. Many modern works take more looking and thinking than the simple realism of the past. And even then we can change our minds as we learn more (isn't that like life too?). I have always felt that the Houston chapel did not have as much power as Rothko's earlier work.

I am being proven wrong. Thank you for your enlightening comments.
