During the late 1950s to 1960s, the paintings of Mark Rothko and Agnes Martin reflected a relationship of inspiration and generation-descending artistic dialogue. Where Martin’s career was just beginning to flourish, Rothko’s late period was already well established by 1960, with his Seagram murals commissioned and in progress. Both artists are of special interest when looking at abstract expressionism’s engagement with spiritual and material concerns. The following essay will compare and contrast each artist’s engagement with spirituality and materiality in two works: Rothko’s Red on Maroon Mural Section 4 of 1959 (Illustration I) and Martin’s Night Sea of 1963 (Illustration II). I will argue that although the personal lives and backgrounds of Rothko and Martin were quite different, both artists sought out ways to depict similar spiritual concepts through similar manipulation of materiality.
Hurston and Williams are both important writers of their times, and although the works I have you chosen to examine in this paper are 6 decades apart, one thing that they share in common is their turning of folklore and black vernacular, a language that was largely rejected by white mainstream society, into a powerful weapon and discourse in communicating rejections, desires, and change in the African American women's world. So in a way, what Sherley Anne Williams did with language in Dessa Rose is very much a continuation of what Hurston did in Sweat during the height of the Harlem Renaissance that celebrated black art and literature, and Hurston was indeed among the first black women writers who wrote in black vernacular and gained attention in the literary community. Born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, Hurston moved with her family to Eatonville, Florida, when she was still a toddler. Established in 1887, the rural community north of Orlando was the nation’s first incorporated black township. Her father, a three-term mayor, helped formulate the laws of the all-black community.

There are many cases such as these that are heartbreaking yet helpful. Cases such as Aaliyah’s, or research gathered, help guide
