  9. Surrealism and mythRothko, Omen of the Eagle, 1942 In a 1943 letter to the New York Times with Barnett Newman, Rothko wrote:“It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints, as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as a good painting about nothing. We assert that the subject is crucial and only that subject matter is valid which is tragic and timeless. That is why we profess a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art."

  10. Biomorphic Surrealism and automatism "It was with the utmost reluctance that I found the figure could not serve my purposes....But a time came when none of us could use the figure without mutilating it.“Rothko, Sea Fantasy, 1946; (right) Untitled, 1944/1945
