On 27 October 1958, Mark Rothko gave a lecture at the Pratt Institute, in which he listed his 7 ingredients for art: 

“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.”
