Rothko at Tate Modern

Another exhibition I saw in London was the Rothko exhibition at Tate Modern by the River Thames this time! Mark Rothko was a Latvian-born American painter and printmaker who is classified as an abstract expressionist, although he rejected not only the label but even being called an abstract painter. His use of colour is magnificent and he narrates stories of the humane through his brushes of vivid, bright colours or more subdued ones like purple, maroon, or even black. His canvasses occupy sometimes the space of a whole wall and you feel like being drawn into reds, yellows, oranges and blues!
