Bilden har blivit något som byts ut tillsammans med lågbudgettillverkade soffor och möbler. Man kan värdesätta bilder på många olika sätt, det kan vara allt från estetiska kvalitéer, pengavärden, kulturella betydelser, berättande, affektionsvärden, till nytta och funktion och utan tvivel har vi alla vår egen smak och våra värderingar är grundade på olika erfarenheter. Men om vi reflekterar över vad denna kommersiella exponering av såväl föreställande som ickeföreställande dekorationsbilder betyder för vår uppfattning av bilden blir det kanske mer intressant och allmängiltigt, kanske blir min poäng klarare om jag säger urvattning. Den abstrakta bildens framväxt under 1900-talet kan kanske delvis ses som en reaktion på en urvattning av andra uttryck. Mark Rothko oroade sig över att hans bilder skulle uppfattas som just dekorativa. Tate modern i London ställer hösten 2008 ut Mark Rothko, Louisiana visar en stor retrospektiv utställning av Per Kirkeby och Moderna Museet visar Max Ernst. Detta sker i en tid då måleriet inte verkar stå speciellt högt i kurs inom konstvärldens avantgarde. De mer framgångsrika samtida svenska målarna är i majoritet mer avbildande än nonfigurativa med namn som Karin Mamma Anderson, Linn Fernström, Ernst Billgren och Jokum Nordström med flera. Den abstrakta bilden hör hemma i dekorationssammanhang eller på museet. Det är dock inte dessa sociala och kulturella företeelser jag vill undersöka i denna uppsats utan det som alla dessa ovannämnda bilder har gemensamt, oavsett hur vi värderar dem, nämligen att de består av färg. 1. Bakgrund Färg är fundamentalt för måleriet och dess konstnärliga uttryck. Färg kan vara både benämningen på materialet som vi använder och det vi förnimmer. Trots detta fundamentala element som skapar form, rum, djup, rytm, dynamik med mera och som beskriver så mycket för oss verkar det vara oerhört svårfångat. Jag vill med denna uppsats studera detta fenomen och jag har valt att avgränsa mig mot den abstrakta bilden där inga självklara betydelser omedelbart kan identifieras. Den abstrakta bilden utelämnas eller diskuteras endast vagt i den samtida konstvetenskapliga grundlitteraturens teoretiska delar och på samma sätt upplever jag det när färg diskuteras, det handlar då mer om färgcirklar och rent fysiska egenskaper så som våglängder. Detta är självklart ett personligt antagande som bygger på den litteratur som genomgåtts under kursen. 5 1.1. Syfte och frågeställning Som utgångspunkt för diskussionen har jag valt att använda Mark Rothko som är en av den abstrakta expressionismens mest omskrivna konstnärer. Rothko förnekade i en konversation 1956 att han var en abstrakt målare och i anslutning till detta sade att han:

Introduction Imagine seeing a painting by Mark Rothko (1903-1970), such as Untitled (1949, fig. 1) in an art museum. Typically, Rothko’s work will be viewed in ‘white cube’ museums, such as the modern section of the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, where Untitled (1949) resides. The room consists of simple white walls and wooden floors. The painting’s title tells you nothing but the fact that it has none. There is no shortcut to the painting’s subject to be found in its given name, and we are expected to go in significantly less biased because of the title’s absence.1 We stand before the painting, no title or picture frame between us and the canvas. Rothko wanted the interaction between the artist and the viewer to be as direct as possible, so he tried to eliminate as many external factors as he could (such as picture frames or titles).2 In Untitled (1949), the artist – Rothko – brought colour and form to this interacttion, while the viewers are expected to bring themselves and all that they know and are.3 A large yellow rectangle serves as the background to the other coloured rectangles that are brown, orange, purple, black and a semi-transparent green, which appear to float in front of it.4 These smaller rectangles do not only relate to the yellow background, but to each other as well.

  • Reflections on the Spiritual in Rothko
    Religion and the Arts 20 (2016) 315–335 RELIGION and the ARTS brill.com/rart Reflections on the Spiritual in Rothko Rina Arya University of Wolverhampton Abstract Much has been made of the metaphysical aspects of Mark Rothko’s abstract art, espe- cially his classic works of the 1950s and the Seagram murals. The claims for the spiritual- ity of Rothko’s work are by no means unique either to his art or to art in general. Indeed there are many people who probe cultural forms, such as art, in order to reflect on life and broader questions that can be classed as spiritual concerns. The “revelations” that Rothko’s classic works give rise to, as described by visitors and commentators alike, reflect this phenomenon, and, taking this view further, explain why secular institutions such as art galleries can be spaces for spiritual experience. Rothko presents an interest- ing case as his work can be understood as spiritual in a broadly numinous way with recourse to the concepts of the sublime and the mystical as well as reflecting aspects of his Jewish identity. The intention of this article is to discuss the different spiritual aspects of Rothko’s work, particularly of his later career, in order to argue for the coex- istence of these different strands, as well as to show the progression of his ideas. Keywords the sublime – mysticism – spirituality – abstraction – the Rothko Chapel Much has been made of the metaphysical aspects of Mark Rothko’s abstract art, especially his classic works of the 1950s and the Seagram murals, the latter having been brought to public attention by the installation of the “Rothko room” at the Tate.1 The sheer size of the canvases, the scale of forms, and 1 In early 1958 Rothko was commissioned to paint a series of murals for the Four Seasons restaurant on the ground floor of New York’s Seagram building.

  • Rothko Deserves Better, Sfmoma
    AiA Art News-service Rothko deserves better, SFMoMA The San Francisco museum plans to sell Untitled (1960) at Sotheby's for between $35m and $50m, the artist is unlikely to have approved BEN LUKE 26th February 2019 10:50 GMT SFMoMA is selling Rothko’s Untitled (1960)—acquired in discussion with the artist—in order to support the diversification of its collection.Photo courtesy of Sotheby’s; © 1998 Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko/Artists Rights Society Mark Rothko made it clear what he thought about his paintings being admired exclusively by the wealthy. Tasty anecdotes relating to his great Seagram Murals—now in museums in London, Washington DC and Sakura, Japan—reflect his horror at their potential audience in the Seagram’s Four Seasons Restaurant, an establishment where, Rothko reportedly said, “the richest bastards in New York will come to feed and show off”. Dan Rice, Rothko’s studio assistant, recalled that the morning after Rothko had dinner there with his wife Mell, he burst into the studio “in an absolute rage” and said: “Anybody who will eat that kind of food for those kinds of prices will never look at a picture of mine.” Whatever the truth of Rothko’s expectations versus the reality of the Seagram commission, these tales make me wonder what Rothko would say about Untitled (1960), a painting in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) since 1962, being sold at Sotheby’s this May, with an expected price of between $35m and $50m. Because what kind of person will be able to afford that kind of art at that kind of price? Surely only a “rich bastard” and not a museum.

These include Rothko‘s attempts to merge the mediums of painting and architecture in order to create an antagonistic environment in the restaurant; how his visits to Italy before and during the project reinforced this goal; how a good deal of the figurative paintings from Rothko‘s earliest career anticipated his blend of aggression and architecturally-related themes; the connection between Rothko and Mies van der Rohe, the architect of the building, in regard to the theme of transcendence; and how his experiments with architectural subjects and motifs aligned Rothko with some of the most influential vanguard artists in New York in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
