This is the only painting that I have ever meditated over and one that has made me cry intensely. The experience was close to a revelation, one that I dig for when exhausted of the vanity and uselessness of the commercial artscene. When I heard Rothkos quote during a documentary, for once in life I felt I had touched on something beyond myself in art. He was quoted as saying that he wanted to express "basic human emotions - tragedy, ecstasy, doom...The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when I painted them."
