{"product_id":"mark-rothko-boxed-notecard-assortment","title":"Mark Rothko Boxed Notecard Assortment","description":"By the 1950s abstract expressionist Mark Rothko had developed his signature motif: large canvases of luminous rectangles that seem to float within a larger color field. To achieve the sense of light emanating from his paintings, Rothko stained the canvases with multiple thin layers of pigments, some of which show through the top layer of paint. Even the deepest hues seem to emit light.\n\nIn reducing forms to simple shapes presented on a grand scale that viewers were meant to experience in close quarters, Rothko sought to elicit deeply felt spiritual and philosophical reactions. He said he wanted to express “basic human emotions—tragedy, ecstasy, doom. . . . The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when I painted them.”\n\nContains five each of the following notecards:\nGreen and Maroon, 1953\nGreen and Tangerine on Red, 1956\nOchre and Red on Red, 1954\nOrange and Red on Red, 1957\n\n\n• 20 blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box\n• Printed in","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41244290875450,"sku":"0337","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1280\/3951\/files\/f81b7b226500dc901ef87d1cc07a5d49762f21da63d01fa9b170673fd7104989.jpg?v=1771002048","url":"https:\/\/shop.ashevilleart.org\/products\/mark-rothko-boxed-notecard-assortment","provider":"Asheville Art Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
