I've found this phrase, written by Mark Rothko, very interesting.
I think it's right the same way I like to paint.
"I'm not an abstract artist, I'm not interested in the relationship of colour or form or anything else. I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions - tragedy, ecstasy, doom and so on."
(Mark Rothko.)

Mark Rothko, White Center,1950
... Il suo lavoro si concentrò sulle emozioni di base, spesso riempendo grandi tele di canapa con pochi colori intensi e solo piccoli dettagli immediatamente comprensibili.

È infatti tra la fine degli anni '40 e l'inizio degli anni '50 che sviluppa il suo stile della maturità. Luminosi rettangoli colorati sembrano stagliarsi sulla tela librandosi al di sopra della sua superficie. Tuttavia Rothko rimase semisconosciuto sino al 1960, sostenendosi insegnando arte, prima presso il Brooklyn Jewish Academy Centre e poi alla California School of Fine Arts di San Francisco. In seguito collaborò con William Baziotes, David Hare e Robert Motherwell alla fondazione di The Subjects of the Artist a New York. (segue... su http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rothko)

During a career that spanned five decades, he created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting. Rothko's work is characterized by rigorous attention to formal elements such as color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale; yet, he refused to consider his paintings solely in these terms.
