Rothko

Here's Rothko piece I absolutely love. A monochromatic piece, its simplicity and ingenuity is something else. Yellow tends to be a high tone, screaming color. But this piece, like most Rothko work has an element of contemplation. The different values of yellow are a subtle contrast. Color tones similiar to piano keys and tones are most effective when used in combination to create just the right sound that is pleasing to the ear. Well Rothko achieves visual harmony in this piece with color.
