Rothko’s Untitled. I don’t like abstract expressionism but he’s probably the technical height of it from how much work actually went into that.

One of my favorite paintings I’ve ever seen in person is completely blue. But it’s a strange, translucent blue that was accomplished by carefully applying dozens of slightly tinted layers. Your eyes don’t really register the canvas as a surface when looking at it; it’s more like a portal into the blue dimension or something.
It’s in a free gallery. I really ought to go back someday and stare at it some more.
That sounds really neat!
A lot of this kind of art that people mock online have a completely different effect when you see it in person. Pollock paintings where that for me; easy to mock as a teenager seeing them on a computer screen, but breathtaking when you’re standing in front of them.
