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
