the purplish borders emerge as if to sink the shapes rather than float them. The suggested mobility of positive and negative spaces implies an extraordinary sense of introspective depth. Though Rothko was classified as one of the leading figures of Abstract Expressionists‚ his paintings seemed to transcend Greenbergian flatness and appeal to more human senses than merely opticality. The broad areas of color in No.12‚ as well as those of his other major practices‚ are his vehicles to evoke the primal

such as Lavender Mist to Blue Poles‚ witnesses to his art claim to be left in a state of tizzy excitement which is completely due to the work itself with no reference whatsoever to his background. Even if it was partially due to his unique style of abstract painting‚ Pollock was well known for his unconventional mediums of art as well as his new interpretations of images.

I chose the painting Autumn Rhythm 1950 by Jackson Pollock. When I first saw the painting‚ I knew from the start that this was the masterpiece perfect for this project.
