The unbearable silence of God

November 26, 2016 in Notebook

"His colors became darker and darker, as if he were bringing us to the threshold of transcendence, the mystery of the cosmos, the tragic mystery of our perishable condition. 

The silence of God, the unbearable silence of God."

— Dominique de Menil

From: ‘The Rothko Chapel: Writings on Art and the Threshold of the Divine’

"Silence is so accurate." 
— Mark Rothko
