Going to have to second Rothko. A lot of his work is so warm and evocative. There's something so accessible about it, which, as a complete layperson on the subject, is basically an essential quality it needs to possess if it wants to connect with me.

There's a quote in Cloud Atlas that I like: "Rothko paints like the blind see."

Yeah, aside from all the contextual and technical stuff, Rothko is just so damn aesthetically pleasing. There's something magnificently beautiful about his work.
