"It is Rothko's scale that removes any argument over the proportions of one area to another, or over its degree of symmetry or asymmetry. The sum of the parts does not equal the whole; rather, scale is discovered and contained as an image. It is not form that floats the painting, but Rothko's finding that particular scale which suspends all proportions in equilibrium." - Morton Feldman
Mark Rothko looms large over Morton Feldman, rehearsing musicians at The Rothko Chapel for a performance of his composition of the same name. April 9, 1972

It's not Rothko himself, but this is a rare picture that you rarely see. Feldman was good friends with Rothko and the music for the chapel is excellent.

 le désir est un sommet caché où d'impossibles fleurs s'épanouissent ; formant colline sur le plat de nos vies, nous le gravissons sans cesse pensant par là pourvoir cueillir leur réponse par le seul fait d’y croire ; sans ce relief pour nous guider sur l’informe des jours nous n’existerions pas pour le monde ; tantôt montant, tantôt descendant, ballotés par un effet grandiose d’illusion, nous contournons sans cesse cette plaie béante qui finit par nous guider pour éviter l’effroi du surplace

Great works of art in all cultures succeed in capturing within the constraints of their form both the pathos of anguish and a vision of its resolution. Take, for example, the languorous sentences of Proust or the haiku of Basho, the late quartets and sonatas of Beethoven, the tragicomic brushwork of Sengai or the daunting canvases of Rothko, the luminous self-portraits of Rembrandt and Hakuin. Such works achieve their resolution not through consoling or romantic images whereby anguish is transcended. They accept anguish without being overwhelmed by it. They reveal anguish as that which gives beauty its dignity and depth.
Excerpt from Buddhism Without Beliefs, by Stephen Batchelor

Alexander Liberman, Mark Rothko in his studio with chapel paintings, 1965,  (This photograph is an outtake from the one we usually see), as well as photos of the studio pulley system and skylight, two years later, 1967
It’s said that Liberman, a friend of Rothko’s, omitted photos of chapel works that had not been settled on, favoring pictures of this center triptych
