Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Rothko painted fourteen paintings specifically to line the walls of the octagonal building.
2. Some of the panels appear to be a monochrome black, which shift in color with changes in the light in the chapel, revealing rich layers of browns and plums.
3. Other panels are sharp-edged black rectangles on a black field.
4. The scale is intentionally very large, so the viewer can feel as if he or she is within the painting.
5. Rothko thought of this abstract space with no recognizable objects as a place of contemplation and imagination that was entirely open-ended, thus as a space enabling a religious experience.
