(*) Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was the leading figure of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he did.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of evidently Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that sent so many minds abroad.
He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated expressive figuration and soaked up the spirit of the vanguards he saw in MoMA-organized exhibitions.
After the war he began to explore 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 canvases, enormous, display wide rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurred colors that float suspended on the canvas, evoking mystic sensations that are quite interesting.
From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But by the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would ultimately commit suicide.
