It shouldn’t be a surprise that Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970) is one of my favorite artists, given my obsession with color. “The Seduction of Light” is an interesting thesis through which to juxtapose works by Phillips (1788 – 1865). I’m used to seeing Rothko’s large canvases next to his modern contemporaries, not the portraits of Philips from the 1800’s. I can spend hours in front of any Rothko absorbing both the tranquility and the dissonance of his colors and their interaction.
