Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was a Russian-born American painter and a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. He is best 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 move beyond traditional subjects, aiming to create direct encounters between viewer and painting that, in his words, spoke to "the basic emotions of humanity: tragedy, ecstasy, downfall."

His artistic journey began with figurative and surrealist influences, but by the late 1940s he had developed his signature style: large-scale canvases with softly edged blocks of color that seem to drift in repose against subtly modulated backgrounds. These meditative works invited long contemplation and were often housed in immersive, chapel-like environments.

Rothko's paintings are among the most valuable works of modern art. Several have sold for more than $80 million at auction, with one privately sold work fetching more than $186 million, reflecting their rarity and cultural significance. Collectors and institutions regard them as masterpieces of 20th-century abstraction.
