Description: The Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, is a serene, meditative space that features 14 monumental black paintings by the abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko. Complementing the chapel's contemplative atmosphere are the sculptures by Barnett Newman, notably his iconic "Broken Obelisk," which stands in the reflecting pool outside the chapel. This sculpture, dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., symbolizes the intersection of art, spirituality, and social justice, creating a powerful dialogue between Rothko's introspective canvases and Newman's evocative form. Together, they transform the chapel into a profound sanctuary for reflection and human connection.
