Refraction - Whimsical, by Seamus Dao.

[mercuryfountain-deactivated2024]

Mark Rothko on the "recipe of a work of art," lecture at the Pratt Institute, 1958:

1. There must be a clear preoccupation with death—intimations of mortality... Tragic art, romantic art, etc. deals with the knowledge of death.

2. Sensuality. Our basis of being concrete about the world. It is a lustful relationship to things that exist.

3. Tension. Either conflict or curbed desire.

4. Irony. This is a modern ingredient—the self effacement and examination by which a man for an instant can go on to something else.

5. Wit and Play..for the human element.

6. The ephemeral and chance...for the human element.

7. Hope. 10% to make the tragic concept more endurable.
