(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was one of the foremost representatives of American abstraction. With his painting he aimed 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 descent, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds to seek refuge.
He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated Expressionist figuration and absorbed the spirit of the avant-gardes he saw in exhibitions organized by MoMA.
After the war he began to investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning all 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, large, show vast rectangular color fields with indistinct boundaries between them. The colors are blurry, 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 were notable. But by the late 1960s, in the midst of a depressive crisis, and after painting a series of works with black acrylic, he would ultimately take his own life.
