Nobody:

Absolutely nobody:

Blink-182 after going to an art museum:

Because I fell in love with a girl at the Rothko Asked her what it means and she told me that she didn’t know Modern art is subjectively beautiful Everything’s better in abstract space A big red square smile on my face I fell in love with a girl at the Rothko

I am entirely obsessed with this person's hand designed/knitted Rothko inspired sweater. I'm going to be thinking about this for days

The artist's instagram is here!

Nobody in the Glass Onion tag is talking about the fact that the Rothko painting on the wall is UPSIDE DOWN.

Truly shows that Miles Bron is just a rich dumb twat

have you been to his chapel? any thoughts? 👀

I was there once before the renovation, I'm not sure how different it is (Some lighting differences) but it was a great experience for me.

It's hard to tell anyone what to expect from art. I know people who have actual life changing experiences there and people who were underwhelmed. If you're a fan, I think you will get something rewarding out of it. The sheer size of the artwork all around you is an experience itself.

Most of the complaints I have heard have been that it's too dark in there. I think now it actually is lighter than it used to be , but this is a familiar refrain about Rothko which I heard from a lot of people at the LVF show too. Rothko liked it darker and not everybody does.

Personally, I feel you just need to get used to the light. You get bright light on things, it gives them a certain impact. It exposes detail and contrast. But Rothko thought of it as twilight. He felt you can't see what he saw under too bright light. (ironically at one his first shows he requested bright light from a single, central source and this request was refused, but he never wanted that again).

It is a (nondenominational) chapel and as such the mood is quiet and reflective. You wouldn't go to the Rothko chapel to party (it's not the Andy Warhol Chapel) but Rothko himself would tell you to get whatever you can out of it. That's good advice for any art, I think. You bring yourself and, like music. as you change, the art will change with you offering you new things.

Look guys I color corrected this Rocko. I think it looks cooler with those tones. Let me know what you think. This is the original, I think, I found it at google images:
