Color: Luis Barragan & Mark Rothko.






Considered the most important Mexican architect of the 20th century, he uses color and light to define spaces that are both minimal and spiritual. Barragan once said, only in intimate communion with solitude may man find himself. solitude is good company and my architecture is not for those who fear or shun it. When compared to the work of the abstract expressionist, mark Rothko. also active in the mid 1900s, Rothko’s color field paintings evoke a similar spiritual feeling.
