Now that we have art without an artist, can we finally admit that "death of the artist" was bullshit and art was about human connection all along. (lemmygrad.ml)

That's absolutely ok, but have you gotten the chance to see one of them in person? I think it makes more sense then. Pictures don't really do the paintings justice.

I think the Rothko chapel is neat too.

The painting in the meme isn't Rothko's, it's a Newman.

Also Rothko's paintings (and Newman's for that matter) are more complex than they seem to be. Their use of color is really amazing, which was highlighted when some of them had to be restored because right wing nutjobs vandalizes them (Rothko is Jewish). The conservators had a really hard time capturing the exact same color scheme
