Here’s a new scan of this painting (our old one wasn’t awful) that highlights a brighter and lighter touch on the canvas. You see here a better capture of the white translucency which halos the lower half of the painting in a somewhat pink border as the base color peers through. These Rothko techniques are so much a part of his art, it’s nice to be able to observe them if only on a computer screen.
