In this episode, we guide you through Mark Rothko’s monumental masterpiece, ‘Number 61 (Rust in Blue)’, using only words to awaken your mind’s eye. We break down the emotional impact, technical mastery, and immersive scale of Rothko’s work, challenging the notion that abstract art is reserved for a select few.
