Tarkovsky. He takes a different mindset.
Stare at a painting of his and colors blend, disappear, reappear, and distort. It's kind of like a meditation. Art distilled to its core, color and form. No easy appeal to pre-formed emotions, i.e. a depiction of Madonna. No attempt to seduce the viewer with humor or cleverness, as the three aforementioned.
Unlike a lot of artists' works, Rothko's must really be seen in the original format. I never appreciated Warhol until I saw a collection of his works. The brilliant colors and perfection of the applications worked magic.
