Until a few hours ago, I would have little to say on this topic. I've been staying in Houston for the last few days and was lucky enough to stumble across the Rothko Chapel. From the outside it looks like any other single level brick apartment block. Once you step inside, the atmosphere is surreal. Each wall of this octagonal chamber presents an obelisk-like Rothko painting. Natural light is directed onto the grey walls via the obscured skylight. This visual simplicity combined with the silent environment perfectly presents what I get from Rothko work - mental clarity. If you get a chance to experience this place, I cannot recommend it enough. http://www.rothkochapel.org http://www.rothkochapel.org
