my blog’s theme is me. a compilation of every single thing i love. every interest. every musing. and everything in between.

[cowboyjoshdun]

really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how they’re doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. i’m sorry you haven’t gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. i’m sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. i’m sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. i’m sorry they aren’t touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. i’m sorry your mom is sick again. glad you’re feeling better now that it’s your favorite season. i’m sorry your meds aren’t working. glad you’re married now. i’m sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad you’re still here. i’m sorry life is so hard. glad you’re alive, i hope things get easier for you soon

Mark Rothko The Drawings of 1962 Wove paper. all approx. 11 1/16 x 8 9/16 in. (28.1 x 21.7 cm) Mixed media (Pencil, Ink, Watercolor and Wash) All Gifts of The Mark Rothko Foundation, Inc., © Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko

We don't see many late drawings from Rothko, there's one in '56 and some that are studies for mural projects, but for some reason, in 1962 we have this nice group of works on paper. What the intention of then was, no one knows for sure.

In 1962 Rothko was working on the Harvard Murals, but these drawings don't really resemble that work and only the 3rd drawing, in pencil. seems more like it might have been a sketch.

But it's still a little funny. The Seagram and Harvard mural sketches are cementing shapes that Rothko wasn't known the use. After all the stacked rectangle forms Rothko had painted by 1962, why sketch a single one out in pencil?

In seems likely to me that at least the 4 of them, in ink, were meant to stand alone, but we will probably never know.

I'm presenting them here as a set even though they are all up on the blog individually. For one thing it's nice to look at then this way, and for another these are recent scans from the NGA, which are different in small ways than what's already up. The previous scans are professional vetted scans but these new ones were probably done all at the same time and we sometimes see less yellow in the paper than we've seen before.

Enjoy these.
