do you like ad reinhardt?
I really do but his work looks impossible to penetrate on the internet. In person, they are fabulous, I think. Very strong for the most part.
Rothko had an affair with Reinhardt's widow, Rita in 1969, by the way, after the breakup of his marriage to Mell.
Some say Rothko was envious of Reinhardt but I don't totally buy it. Rothko was insecure but pretty cemented in his belief of what he was doing.
One thing I have learned from reading lots and lots of interviews with Rothko's friends is that lots of them had big egos and after Rothko died they all liked to make themselves look more anecdotally important.
Also a lot of information on the internet over the years has been culled from the Lee Seldes book which I find to be scurrilous and gossipy. I think she was the only person to cover the trial after Rothko's death in detail but many of her conclusions to things I find ridiculous.
It's like reading about Kurt Cobain. You might as well be reading about the Loch Ness Monster.

What are your thoughts on Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt? Newman's my favorite painter, with Rothko and Joan Mitchell close second and third, respectively - and Reinhardt is someone whose stark black paintings I really admire. And since they were contemporaries, I'm curious what you think of their art! Any thoughts on Mitchell would be a bonus. 😎
I like all of these artists.
Newman was an intellectual painter, he was a writer and I think he wanted to get in on the scene in this manner. There's something calculating about him but I think it's not fair to say that makes him less of an artist, it's almost a Japanese approach to modernism rather than an emotional one. You could say the same about Reinhardt who very openly talked about the removal of key aspects of art.
Rothko and Gottlieb were annoyed by Newman going into art and Tworkov too, partially because Newman lied pre-dating some paintings to make it look like he started the movement. I do feel Rothko has greater depth than Newman, maybe because he has more painting technique, but his work is layered and Newman's is flat. That's just my own taste but I often go see the Stations of the Cross and that's a great room. Very effective.
Reinhardt is good too and I like his technique but, like Rothko, it's very hard to see in pictures. It's too subtle to photograph well. It has a kind of velvety immersive quality that doesn't seem to come across in photographs.
I adore Joan Mitchell. She's another person, like many abstract expressionists that hardly makes sense until you see how big it is. It's like a big Japanese screen painting in that a lot of her work is horizontally oriented, almost like a story. She's a dynamite painter, some of them are really exceptional.
I'm not sure this answer is much more than just some personal taste but, if you want to know anything please let me know. Thanks for writing.
