ONLINE SEMINAR
Rothko: The Essential Experience
$250.00
They may love them or hate them, but few people are indifferent to the colour fields of Mark Rothko. His enormous canvases covered in blocks of yellow and orange and white and red demand our attention. But what are we looking at, and why should we bother? What kind of seeing does his work demand of us, his viewers? How does a painting become an experience? In this seminar we will take up these questions through a consideration of Rothko’s paintings and his words.
When: Four weekly sessions on Mondays at 7 p.m. Eastern, starting April 3, 2023
Duration: 2 hours per session
Cost: C$250 plus 13% HST (approx. US$195 plus 13% HST)
Group Size: 12-participant limit
How: We meet on Zoom; you will receive joining instructions approx. 3 weeks before the seminar start date.
Online seminar payments are nonrefundable. Discount codes must be used at the time of purchase.
