Imaginary Conversation with Mark Rothko
| Me | Rothko |
| I attempted an imitation of your painting style | You drew some squares. |
| Well, there are some squares, but that is what you painted. | I reached into the recesses of my consciousness to create something emotional and intellectual that is pre-verbal and sublime. |
| So, I am not a painter? | No. You are a douchebag with a computer. |
| I appreciate your candor. | No problem. |
| Any copyright violation? | Maybe you should watch TV. |
