The Rothko Chapel
The Rothko Chapel
Houston, TX USA
Mark Rothko (1903 - 1970)
Comissioned by Dominique de Menil in 1964. Dedicated in 1971.
Inside a fortress-like sanctuary, the artist Mark Rothko boldly painted nothing but black to symbolize the limitless eternity of the Creator. The Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational sacred space providing a place for worship, meditation and prayer for people of all faiths and beliefs.
For my friend Rein who boldly uploaded a picture of nothing but black!
