color field

This semester, my mind has been blown. There was a piece created by a certain classmate of mine that really got me emotional. I guess you could say that his inspiration was the pioneer himself, Barnett Newman. Barnett Newman inspired many artists after his time. One of those people being the artist Salvador.

Please see for yourself:

Just the use of space and athmosphere. Whether the blue line is the foreground or background, it transcends Rothko's use of space. It speaks of simplicity yet a complexity that is not seen at first. It actually makes most people's hearts jump. Please share your love here: where the magic happens.
