Sat 15 Film Night - Rothko's Rooms
"....I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions - tragedy, ecstasy, doom and so on... the people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience as I had when I painted them.''
An evening exploring the work of Mark Rothko, using film to stimulate discussion and lead us into meditation. Rothko's large scale abstract paintings could fill an entire wall, creating the sense of being enveloped by the canvas. This documentary chronicles the life and work of a fascinating artist. 7.15-9.45pm. Dana/donation. Led by Amitajyoti and Vidyadaka.
