Reinhardt + Rothko at MoMA

A couple of weeks ago we completely breezed through a special room of five paintings by Ad Reinhardt facing five by Mark Rothko. We went back recently, killing time before the Coen brothers retrospective, and were rewarded with ruminative, contemplative work filled with color that shifts and shimmers. Obviously these images are much, much smaller; if the paintings were actually this small, we could be forgiven for zipping by not just once but twice.
