A rare TV appearance by Mark Rothko:

(This is the latest in a series of arts-related videos that appear in this space each Monday and Wednesday.)

“A man who would tell me that I am pretty, unless he is over seventy, ought to be kicked out of the room. But a man who can’t show me that he thinks me so without saying a word about it, is a lout.”

Anthony Trollope, Phineas Finn
