We assert man's absolute emotions. We do not need props or legends. We create images whose realities are self-evident. Free ourselves from memory, association, nostalgia, legend, myth. Instead of making our cathedrals out of Christ, man or life, WE MAKE THEM OUT OF OURSELVES, out of our own feelings. The image we produce is understood by anyone who looks at it without nostalgic glasses of history.

- Mark Rothko (for Art 101 the dude of Trichromatic Color Theory)
