The Mr. Rothko I knew,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rothko's Rooms / Mark Rothko (DVD)
I was a student of Mark Rothko at Brooklyn College and it was "Mr. Rothko" who showed me the wonder of creating art.
To me he was kind, generous, and eager for students to understand his very abstract perceptions of painting. Few students did and he had to continuously overcome human hurdles in teaching and in the art world in general. The film is very well done and I enjoyed seeing the many people speaking about Rothko the artist, parent, and the troubled man, but while it is excellent and I recommend it for all to see, it did not convey how his profound inner life had to reconcile with those around him, those who did not fully understand what he was trying to achieve. and what he must have suffered inwardly as a lone artistic pioneer. But that is the fate of creative souls. Only after his passing did people realize what a treasure they knew and could have appreciated more while he was alive. To me Mr. Rothko was always fatherly. He listened to me and took an interest in my work, even though I was a naive girl from Brooklyn. He listened because I appreciated what he had to say. How many in the art world - gallery owners, and fellow painters -- were really interested then in his esoteric ideas of color, shape, and space and how these artistic elements convey the profound forces of nature in our physical world. Thank you, Roberta Carasso, Ph.D.

Absolutely amazing documentary on Rothko.,

This review is from: Rothko's Rooms / Mark Rothko (DVD)
When I finally had the opportunity to see this film on television. I was quite amazed by it. But saddened that it was only an hour long. The interviews are tremendous, as you get to see Kate Rothko sitting in front of a great dark painting of her Father's, as she speaks of him.
I really don't wanna say too much about it. I will let it speak for itself. One thing I do wanna find out before purchasing this is, are there ANY extras to the DVD version of this. Or is it just a DVD version of what I saw on television?

Rothko's Rooms full of great furniture of insight!,

This review is from: Rothko's Rooms / Mark Rothko (DVD)
It indeed is a fine documentary tracing his steps from the early years into abstract expressionist. Interesting to note his personal view of both himself and how his art should be viewed.
The photography gives us some real eye-candy to enjoy for the hour as well as stimulating discussion from his daughter and others in the know.
