From 1953 to 1988 Jules Halfant was Art Director of Vanguard Records where he designed albums featuring Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Country Joe and the Fish, Buffy Sainte-Marie and many other musicians. Elena Huerta Múzquiz (b. July 15, 1908 – d. 1997) was a Mexican artist best known for her mural work in her hometown of Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.  Most of her art career was dedicated to teaching, but she was one of the founders of the Compañía de Teatro Infantil with German Cueto, Lola Cueto, Angelina Beloff and Leopoldo Méndez, the Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios and a founding member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.  She created three mural projects in Saltillo, with the last done when she was 65 years of age, a work over 450m², the largest mural work created by a woman in Mexico.

It is a unique place in the Eastern Europe, where the original paintings of Mark Rothko are located.  He was one of the great artists of the 20th century, a founder of the abstract expressionism movement, best known for his enigmatic color field paintings. Dore Ashton (May 21, 1928 – January 30, 2017) was a writer, professor and critic on modern and contemporary art.  She was born in Newark, New Jersey.  She was the author or editor of more than thirty books on art, including "Noguchi East and West", "About Rothko", "American Art Since 1945", "The New York School: A Cultural Reckoning" and "Picasso On Art".  Ashton also contributed to many publications including Art Digest and worked as an art critic at the New York Times.  Ashton was one of the New York art critics who championed the New York School, whose members also included Harold Rosenberg and Barbara Rose.  Ashton's 1983 work on Mark Rothko, "About Rothko", remains a source of much discussion about the artist.  Ashton's most recent book, "David Rankin: The New York Years", on artist David Rankin was released in July 2013. Howard Barnstone (March 27, 1923 in Auburn, Maine – May 1987 in Houston, Texas) was a Houston-based American architect.  He was best known for his work with Mark Rothko on the Rothko Chapel, which he took on after Rothko and Philip Johnson had creative differences. No. 61 (Rust and Blue) is a 1953 painting by the Russian-American Abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko.  The work was first exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1961.  In common with Rothko's other works from this period, No. 61 consists of large expanses of color delineated by uneven, hazy shades.  The Rust and Blue painting was a part of the Color Field Movement because, No. 61 relies on subtle tonal values that are often variations of a monochromatic hue.  Rust and Blue also uses layered coloring to enrich the hues in the painting, a quality the artist Mark Rothko described as inner light.  Rothko painted in such a way that at times paint can be seen flowing upward across the surface.  This illusion is caused because Rothko would invert his painting toward the final stages of his work, this can be seen in No.61. The Rothko case was the protracted legal dispute between Kate Rothko, the daughter of the painter Mark Rothko; the painter's estate executors; and the directors of his gallery, Marlborough Fine Art.  The revelations in the case of greed, abuses of power and conspiracy by financial interests in the art world were described by the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court of New York state, as "manifestly wrongful and indeed shocking," serving as a cautionary tale for both artists and their gallerists. Four Darks in Red shows Mark Rothko's often used axis of black, brown and red, which is in a number of his easel paintings and in the mural projects for the Seagram Building.
