"The body itself is barely distinguishable from the surrounding environment… the subject clandestinely peers out from its ‘cover’ to see what is ‘out there’ but the ‘out there’ has already infiltrated inside the subject."

- P. Samuels on Klee’s Arab Song.

It’s true: Rothko’s work didn’t always consist of blocked layers of translucent colour. These two pieces, which relate to the unconscious mind, show clear influences from the Surrealist movement.
