Black in Deep Red, Mark Rothko, 1957.
Mark Rothko’s layering techniques were innovative for his time. Rothko used materials far beyond the conventional range sold for artists, modifying the properties of oil paints to achieve the flow, drying time and colours he needed in order to apply subsequent layers within hours. The “Rectangular rug collection” by Karim Mekhtgian which represents the layering of the past into the present has great relevance to Mark Rothko’s layering techniques.
