born American painter and a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. He is primarily known as a leading representative of the Color Field movement, in which expansive fields of luminous color were used to evoke deep emotional and spiritual responses. Rothko sought to go beyond traditional subjects, with the aim of creating direct encounters between viewer and paintings that, in his words, 'address the basic emotions of man: tragedy, ecstasy, and doom'.
