I have seen this lovely picture before which i believe comes from the fact that when they first took photos in the chapel in 1971, they used hot bright lights to film. These were very warm in tone and it brought the red/purple out as you can see in the film of the Rothko chapel from that year. But I suspect this must be photoshopped by someone at some point.

This gif I made form that shows how off the color is under movie lights, but even that does not explain to me how someone got bright red out of it. I sometimes refrain from reblogging posts with what I think of as inaccurate scans,. it tends to make them circulate even more. However, I chose to here to and it is not a criticism but just to say, if you go to the chapel, it is not red and it never has been.

This is the same painting as the OP red one and it's quite a difference

Once again, just a friendly reminder that this is not Rothko's studio

It's the set of a play

This I believe I have addressed before, but is not a painting by Mark Rothko.

It was sold as "in the manner of" and the artist is unknown to me.

This guy was so fit but gained 30lbs of fat during the pandemic…I hope he never loses it 🥵 I wonder if any friends poked or pinched that new layer of fat 🤩

I owe Vince Gilligan’s gf Holly Rice a life debt for telling him he could not end El Camino by sending Jesse to jail she might as well have carried me out of a burning building

There's nothing too wrong here but I'd point out these are either AI or all cribbed from the same source so, year after year same text gets pasted accurate or not. I understand everyone wants a popular art teaching platform (though god knows what money they are making on it.)

So again, this picture is colorized, I wish people would stop using it. This one has actually been messed with twice now, once for the random color and twice to make it "Darker" .

The classic paintings are NOT called multiforms, this refers to an earlier period of his paining that is quite short, this becomes quite confusing in the way that it is written here. There's nothing wrong with this kind of thing, but it's very, very basic and the author is not, or barely, actually using any of their direct observations. Maybe it's chatGPT, but i'm not picking on this person. I am saying there are many books and an American masters show on Rothko (which itself is basic but not inaccurate), so if you go closer to sources that have a background behind them you are likely to get better information.

It's kind of like if you see the play "Red" you get a some a story of the Seagram murals but at the same time, you could carry a lot of other misapprehensions like that Rothko painted with an assistant.

Most of our art history is opinion, so getting some opinion close to the source is always a getter idea than some cribbed meanderings about depression and the spirituality of color.

It's a very internet thing in that often one is better off just looking than reading.

Average show involving a character who is neurodivergent in a highly stigmatised way that people tend to see as "unreachable": This character is not a character they are a mere plot device at best

Crazy Ex Girlfriend 🤝 Certain episodes of Community: You will be literally forced by the show's format to see things from the neurodivergent character's perspective

Some people still somehow: These characters are simply evil and Too Much or perhaps sometimes Not Enough (in Abed's case)
