This exhibit features black-on-black paintings that Rothko made in 1964 in connection with his work on a chapel for the Menil Collection in Houston. A recording of Morton Feldman's Rothko Chapel (1971), the haunting music originally composed for that space, accompanies the exhibition in the spacious East Building Tower Gallery. A new 10-minute film examines the career of Rothko and his development of a style that fused abstract painting with emotional significance. Produced by the National Gallery of Art, the film will be shown continuously in the Tower Gallery.

, You just go about life the normal way instead of following different educational systems just to convince yourself that you are are learning something, perhaps to impress your friends or to show that you have all that it takes . then when you are given an assignment and it is focused on a specialized field you are drawn down with stress and loose out because your tempo of thought is split into fragments by these too many divided concepts that you thought would be useful to you, So you are now looking for another job just like you were looking for another educational system in the quest for knowledge. You cannot stop your brain from learning, Don't give meat to a vegetarian. He will not eat . So your brain will follow its own interests that is to generate and feed its own designs, Give it what it so desires.
