Rothko in Palazzo Strozzi Firenze (14.03-23.08). Untitled (Black, Red over Black on Red) - 1964. I sat down in a quiet corner of a hall, right opposite this one painting, in the middle of the exhibition. I sat there, looking at it. Within a few minutes I found myself weeping.

I was crying. It pierced right through, ignoring my conscious awareness. A direct hit like music or scent can do. I just sat there, crying and talking to myself how I didnt understand what was happening.
