Rothko versus the World

[@gregwing6409]

Thank you! This was beautifully done. Cheers- Greg

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

Thanks Greg. i'm really enjoying making them and meeting like minded people. i wonder if a weekly art chat with a live chat would be fun

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

oh yes and there is a final version coming out at some point. i'm also finishing one on van gogh's sunflowers today. will post up avs let you know. are you an artist

[@gregwing6409]

@@theGENIUSofART-understood Sure you are welcome, but I am a visual artist and not very good with words. So I probably wouldn't participate. Cheers -Greg

[@MUCKMUCKity]

I can’t explain how or why but his art moves me in a basic, almost atomic, level. It’s like being persuaded before understanding.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

@@MUCKMUCKity That's a wonderful way to put it! I'm doing a final version of this documentary for a new channel in the future, could I quote you?

its vomit. you like vomit?

Rothko’s work never moved me until I saw a print in someone’s living room. It was orange with a flat stripe left to right. It made me think of an explosion. It’s a bold piece.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

@@LaEscuelaDelEncanto exactly. what do you think moved you

[@closertohome-b7m]

I always liked his work. The color sense was compelling

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

definitely interesting colour choices!

[@marypartridge5154]

I just dont get it sorry. I'm a painter but fail to find the profundity in Rothko. I think he was good with colour. Sorry

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

@@marypartridge5154 Have you seen one in person? which and what did you think ?

Well, with Rothko there's always a few billion to back you up, try Clyfford Still. 😉

Good documentary. Automatic drawing was introduced through the “Abstract Movement”.. rather than the Surrealists. Pioneers namely.. Hilma af Klint..(1906).. essentially implemented the concept through the medium of Theosophy.. Symbolism and Spiritism.. which had been in vogue in the late 19th century. Artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian..(1911).. also adopted the practise.. which became the basis of their work.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

Some interesting stuff in there. Hilma looks fascinating. If we really are talking about the origins of automatic writing we need to go back to the Song dynasty in China and zen masters in Japan. It was called 扶乩/扶箕 Fuji and was linked to astrology. I had to look it up. For the purposes of the contact for Rothko, Breton will do. Glad you keeping me on my toes!

[@djwright5686]

Nicely done. Focus on this and your site should well.🎉❤

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

thank you kindly. this was actually a draft. i'll make a dedicated site for art which was always the plan. i didn't expect this draft version to take off.

[@themightygalactus8865]

Great original artist and interesting video but a little embarrassing with the many spelling errors including the misspelling of the Rothko's name at the end, but I did like the video.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

Yes. it's actually a draft. i'm going to edit and create a new channel dedicated to art. i just put it up here for a couple of friends and it took off!!!! greif is a bad one too!! uffffff

[@Johnconno]

Rothko was never an average painter.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

You are. Fascinating. So what level of painter do you reckon him to be and why?

[@Johnconno]

@theGENIUSofART-understood It's about looking, I've been looking for 48 years. Who knows?

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

@@Johnconno OK> doesn't really answer the question, but I'll wait. You seem like an intelligent gentleman.

[@theartist4252]

Sorry. Rothko was a joke. No painting skill whatsoever. If anyone can do it then what's the point? Picasso had incredible skill combined with his imagination is what made him so good.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

have you ever stood in front of one of his paintings?

[@theartist4252]

@@theGENIUSofART-understood Actually I have on several occasions and I still didn't see any real talent.

[@gregwing6409]

Would a Joke artist remove their works from the most highly paid commission of their life? I think not. Cheers-Greg

Thanks man. i'm taking some of it out for the final version.

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

anything about it that you liked?

[@PeterPepper93]

It's great besides this, but please for the next ones take something less present, it's very paradoxical to me that you're talking about the fact that he didn't want to name his paintings to leave the interpretation open... its exactly the contrary of that happening with the music, no need to fill everything, leave space, let it breath, keep on brother good job

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

@ Yes. actually i really agree with this and it's something i thought about. i'm rushing through it with my audio. i'm going to edit and upload on the new channel. this will be one of the changes!

It's trash

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

care to explain why?

[@gregwing6409]

@@theGENIUSofART-understood. I doubt anyone will really explain why the don’t like Rothko’s work. It’s easier to write a put down than to explain why. Those Joke or trash comments are a big, so what. They expose their own ignorance. Cheers-Greg

If artist cannot name his art, it isn't art. Sorry.

why do you insist on it having a name?
