- Mark Rothko transitioned from painting objects to focusing on light, color, and emotional impact like joy or tragedy in the late 1940s.
- He composed works with two or three soft-edged rectangles, creating colors that evoke their own atmospheric presence on canvas.
- Rothko insisted galleries hang paintings low with dim lighting, encouraging viewers to sit and engage with them for an immersive experience.
