Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was born in Russia.
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'.
His artistic journey began with figurative and
surrealist influences, but by the late 1940s he had developed his distinctive style: large-scale canvases with softly edged color fields that seemingly drift at rest against subtly modulated backgrounds. These meditative works invited prolonged contemplation and were often placed in immersive, chapel-like environments.
