Paint can be seen in a variety of directions because Rothko would invert, turn the canvas in various directions and paint from there.
Mark Rothko, Untitled,1953: What Rothko conveys is not meant have a specific meaning, but to be interpreted by the individual it is totally pictorial. They have symbolic and abstract meaning. Rothko once stated, "large pictures are like dramas in which one participates in a direct way."
