This shitty painting sold for $75million dollars.

Is "high-art" always shit by default? Will writing ever be reduced to such a meaningless aberration?

I find it strange that no modern book or poem is this valuable. What makes visual art so much better and meaningful than the written word?

The problem with money is that it makes are seem as if it has objective value, but it doesn't and never can.

So saying someone paid $75 million for it, isn't saying anything at all really. It just means that some dude out there finds the painting more valuable than having 75 million dollars.

“The prospect of death - the tragedy at the heart of his art - moved closer. He was advised that his condition was not necessarily life-threatening, but that he must give up drinking and smoking and produce only small works.

But, Sandler recalled, 'Mark did just the opposite. He seemed to fall apart as a person, at least when he was drunk, which he often was. But still, he continued to paint.' Rothko left his wife Mell and family, and seemed terribly isolated and lonely.

He continued to paint, his palette often reduced to a bleak black and grey. On February 25, 1970, he killed himself, cutting his wrists and taking an overdose of anti-depressants. Kuh wondered whether it was success that destroyed Rothko. Another possibility is that he died of doubt that his art could sustain the weight of significance he placed on it.”

I would just like to weigh-in on this discussion.

Personally I don't understand it. I'm of the mind that if you told me your 4yr old son had created this at nursery school, I would believe you. It means nothing to me. However, I have no great interest in art. I cannot spot the difference between good technique and great; thus it would be arrogant of me to dismiss it so swiftly from my corner of ignorance.

I understand that art isn't about technique but about expression and perception; to me it looks like three blocks of colours to another it might express something deeper, primal. Perhaps something that cannot be easily expressed via tongue or written word.

I do wish, however, that people would at least try and explain -give some kind of meaning to why they think it's great. I would genuinely love to be able to appreciate art, but how am I supposed to learn to if people mock and tease instead of trying to teach.

Not always. And that's the biggest mistake. Art is not always about a secret hidden message. Art can be as stupid as a bunch of brushstrokes on a canvas and yet it can remain beautiful.
As an art market analyst who went through 7 years of art history, my greatest advice would be to let the flow reach you. Don't overthink, there's no point to it, unless you're bored as hell.

Photographs are better than originals, you have to see photographs in person, the difference in texture is a benefit.

If possible, visit a museum that contains one or more Rothko paintings. Read what the plaque on the wall has to say about it, and then observe the art intently, taking note of its texture, brushstrokes, composition, subtleties in color. If you still think that a 4th grader could produce this, you have the mind of a babby.

Secondly, read up on your art history. Perhaps the reason you are so offended by Rothko paintings is that you have been overexposed to abstract art, as well as conditioned by media to abhor such things because the allegedly lack technical skill. When Rothko painted this, it was indeed a novel idea.

Subjectivity of what? Of experience?

Here's the problem, though. 9 out of 10 commenters here are describing what is purely a reader-response, devoid of any context. Rothko's work -has- to be read against the history of art, against style(s), and "experience" itself is highly constructed.* To think that one can simply describe these issues *without* grappling with a multitude of critical/historical/philosophical issues = providing a reader response. Eg., "This makes me feel warm." It means nothing.

But, most people can't do that. And, as Kant helpfully reminds us, most people are also born into immaturity and do not haul themselves out of that state. End result? Ressentiment. Denigrate art itself. Deride it as trash, simply because one lacks the appropriate apparatus with which to engage it.

Because every opinion has merit, right?

"One day in autumn 1959, the critic and historian Irving Sandler met him on 10th Street in New York, and Rothko announced that he had just completed the series of works commissioned to hang in the Four Seasons Restaurant, allegedly the most expensive ever opened. He invited Sandler to see the pictures in his studio. 'It was a cavernous space in which he had built a mock-up of the restaurant in order to paint the murals in situ, as it were. We sat silent in the midst of these sombre paintings. At one point he said: "Can you imagine rich people eating dinner surrounded by this work?"' Sandler confessed that he couldn't, and Rothko replied that he couldn't, either, and that he had returned the restaurant's advance - a large sum he could ill-afford. Later, Rothko donated a large group of these works to the Tate."
.
"Rothko seems to have become increasingly unsure whether his paintings truly had the effect on viewers for which he hoped. Novak and O'Doherty described his examination of his own pictures. 'When he was seated before the work, subjecting it to his habitual hypnotic stare, he studied how the waxing and waning light veiled and unveiled incident, content and moods that appeared like so many chimeras. He gave the impression, as one watched with him, that the painting, particularly if it were a dark painting, was unknowable.'
From the late Fifties, Rothko's work grew darker. 'I curse God daily,' he confessed, 'because men are born to die.' His first retrospective, in 1961, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, seems to have shaken his confidence.
He haunted the galleries, visiting the exhibition virtually every day. 'He was so curious about the response of visitors,' said Sandler, 'that he would follow them around, eavesdropping on their conversations.' This exhibition, which should have been a point of triumphant vindication, seemed to throw him. 'Until then,' according to Kuh, 'he fundamentally believed in himself and, more expressly, in what he was doing.'"

One night, lonely Hollywood superstar actor Nicolas Cage was after a movie shoot in Tokyo-3 and felt alone. He ached for the intimate companion that only the female body could brign him. He called his best acting friend, Robert Downey Jr, using his phone. "Hi Robert Downy Jr, do you want to go picking up women in the alcohol bars in Tokyo-3?" "I would love to Nicolas Cage, but unfortunately I'm rolling in bitches here, ha ha! Smell ya later!" and he hung up. Nicolas Cage was jealous of his friend's success with women. He was no slouch when it came to courting women and also having sex with them too, but he couldn't find The One. So he decided he would challenge himself: "I'll get drunk until I find the woman I will marry!" so we went to the izakaya alcohol bar that had food in Neo-Roppongi-3. He was there and got beer and immediately saw a vision of angelic beauty. He put on his best handsome voice and said "Hello, darling. Are you.... at least eighteen? Because I eat sexy for breakfast." She blushed and said in heavily accent broke english "You funny, yes I eighteen." "Hi, I'm Nicolas Cage." "I Rei Ayanami" and they shook hands and bowed, but then they kissed accidentally because they bowed at the same time, and they both blushed. "C-cage-san..." she said with nervousness with trembling.

Economic inequality is well and alive, and more or less always will be as long as our world is driven by economics of scarcity.

What we *don't* need, and should work to stave off, is everybody coming under the delusion that their opinion equals an educated opinion. The difference between lay, amateur, and expert thought has been blurred. That is what needs to be overturned, and the distinctions made visible again.

Deronn said "Wait what if you are pregnant" and Serena said "don't worry about it I'm not underaged since we're Japanese" and they laughed and did it again. Meanwhile Otakon said "Solid Sneak have you found the Metal Gear yet" and a Seake said "No" and Otakoin said "okay keep looking". Meanwhile the ship was on fire and the harbor police were panicking because they didn't have enough water to put it out. "If only sailor moon were here " the Harbor Patrol Colonel said as he tried to help the soldiers put out the fire. Meanwhile Snake was on the boat and his box caught fire. "AAAA" he said as he got out of it. And he walked further and a guard was there who heard him. "Otakon there is a guard there what do I doo" said snake and Otakin said "Snake you have to keep from killing him or else we'll be terrorists" so he used the tranqwiliezer gun and went on forward to the place in the ship where the metal gear was that he didn't know but guessed. Snake tied his banana and said "lets do this." Meanwhile in the park in the middle of Toykyo the sailors couts were fighting a monster headed by Zoisite who said "HAHA YOU CAN'T PENETRATE THIS DUEL ARMOR NOW" and she backflipped forwards onto the ground while throwing an ice at the sailors couts and Jupiter said "we have to evage."

Pretty much the only real period or style of art that is without merit is dadaism. Proclaiming yourself invincible to criticism through abstraction is idiotic because abstract art exists and disproves that position many times over.

But abstract is one of my favorite branches of art simply because it has the potential to be so eclectic.

I think it's more the case that what he was doing had personal merit and purpose, and it was taken up as "Great Art" by a lot of people who were only interested in his works as objects. When I'm walking through the Asian art galleries at my local museum, through the religious art, I wonder what the artists would think of these objects of very real sacred devotion being taken entirely out of their original context and made into "art-objects" devoid of actual meaning beyond their superficial appearance.

The museum is a colossal mirror in which man contemplates himself, in short, in all his aspects, finds himself literally admirable and abandons himself to the ecstasy expressed in all the art journals.

Maybe I should have phrased myself better. Admittedly I'm not very good with art terminology. I should have said "modern art" instead of "abstract art." My apologies.

That's somewhat verbose considering that many people find nothing but chaos in art. Its an intellectual pursuit, hence it is emulated by the less educated and over average wealth; as most things of this nature are.

Art is a projection and doesn't invoke reflection it provokes desire in most. I agree but it is so much more complicated than you've put it.

Intelligence is basically an assurance you will be miserable, not ecstatic.

You mean like op's stuff? The minimalist modern art movement? Of course it has value, its purpose is to show us the value of art which takes actual talent and emotional devotion to make ... by serving as an example of the opposite.

Art as a whole is only getting better, though. What with the invent and availability of tablets and engineering software. A painting can now be the size of a fucking building if it wants to be and as detailed as you care it.

His readymades were genius. He knew what the was doing. Making a joke of the art scene/museums that were bustling at the time.

Improvements in technology also obviously played a role. Namely photography. The skill of being able to paint accurate capture of life is much less today.

FEMALE CATS ARE SEASONALLY POLYESTROUS, WHICH MEANS THEY MAY HAVE MANY PERIODS OF HEAT OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, THE SEASON BEGINNING IN SPRING AND ENDING IN LATE AUTUMN. HEAT PERIODS OCCUR ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS AND LAST ABOUT 4 TO 7 DAYS.[153] MULTIPLE MALES WILL BE ATTRACTED TO A FEMALE IN HEAT. THE MALES WILL FIGHT OVER HER, AND THE VICTOR WINS THE RIGHT TO MATE. AT FIRST, THE FEMALE WILL REJECT THE MALE, BUT EVENTUALLY THE FEMALE WILL ALLOW THE MALE TO MATE. THE FEMALE WILL UTTER A LOUD YOWL AS THE MALE PULLS OUT OF HER. THIS IS BECAUSE A MALE CAT'S PENIS HAS A BAND OF ABOUT 120–150 BACKWARDS-POINTING PENILE SPINES, WHICH ARE ABOUT ONE MILLIMETER LONG;[154] UPON WITHDRAWAL OF THE PENIS, THE SPINES RAKE THE WALLS OF THE FEMALE'S VAGINA, WHICH IS A TRIGGER FOR OVULATION. THIS ACT ALSO OCCURS TO CLEAR THE VAGINA OF OTHER SPERM IN THE CONTEXT OF A SECOND (OR MORE) MATING, THUS GIVING THE LATER MALES A LARGER CHANCE OF CONCEPTION.[CITATION NEEDED]
AFTER MATING, THE FEMALE WILL WASH HER VULVA THOROUGHLY. IF A MALE ATTEMPTS TO MATE WITH HER AT THIS POINT, THE FEMALE WILL ATTACK HIM. AFTER ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES, ONCE THE FEMALE IS FINISHED GROOMING, THE CYCLE WILL REPEAT.
