(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was one of the leading figures of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he achieved it.
Mark Rothko was born Markus Rothkovitz in Russia. From an evidently Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds away.
He studied art in the 1920s but considered himself self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated Expressionist figuration and soaked up the spirit of the vanguards he saw in exhibitions organized by the MoMA.
After the war he began to investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning figurative references, and in the 1950s, with Abstract Expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting ever since.
Rothko’s paintings, enormous in size, show wide rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurry colors, floating suspended on the canvas, stimulating quite interesting mystical sensations.
From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But in the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would take his own life.
