(*) Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was the leading figure of American abstraction. Through his painting he aimed to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he achieved it.
Mark Rothko, born Markus Rothkovitz, was born in Russia. From a clearly 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 largely self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated Expressionist figuration and absorbed the spirit of the avant-gardes he saw in exhibitions organized by the MoMA.
After the war he began to explore color field painting, gradually abandoning any figurative reference, and in the 1950s, with Abstract Expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting ever since.
Rothko’s paintings, vast, show broad rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurred colors, floating suspended on the canvas, evoking quite fascinating mystical sensations.
From then on, 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 a series of works with black acrylic, he would eventually take his own life.
