I was listening to the music of Morton Feldman and I heard this beautiful piece:

And I saw Rothko's works:

And I started caring about art right then and there.

I guess it's a lot like poetry to me, or like a flower.

I like Rothko, even if I don't quite understand what people find in conteporary art sometimes. Stuff like this in our day and age? I don't understand

But Rothko has a way with color and texture. His squares have depth compared to the massive amount of similar squares that fill contemporary art museum nowadays... And he was revolutionizing and doing something NEW with art. Like Malevich. Honestly if you paint a color square today it's just repeating an overdone consept over and over unless you really add something unique and meaningfull to it.
