A reflection on the art of Mark RothkoTHE FIRST ROTHKO PAINTING I saw in person was in the 1970s, while I was an art student at Beaux-Arts de Paris. It was one painting, hanging in the Centre Pompidou. Not a Rothko show, just a single painting, and it floored me. His work spoke to me immediately, and it still does, as it does to so many artists and so many people. The universality of Rothko’s work is very powerful, and this is what resonates most for me.
