Painting pictures like Rothko.
He has a painting of “orange and yellow,” and why is it called so? Because there is a strip of orange and yellow...
There are also paintings "Green and brown", "black on brown", "orange red yellow", "white center" and the like, have you guessed why they are so called?
If you compare with the "black square", it is undoubtedly a step forward.
Let’s be honest, there was just a critic who saw the meaning in the paintings and a bunch of people to appear unthinkable also immediately saw the meaning. There are a lot of artists with similar paintings, but they are not lucky. The same happened in the original quote about the student’s ointment.
