(*) Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was a 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 so.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of evidently Jewish descent, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that sent so many minds away.
He studied art in the 1920s but regarded himself as self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated expressive figuration and absorbed the spirit of the vanguards he saw in MoMA-organized exhibitions.
After the war he began to investigate color field painting (pintura de campos de color), gradually abandoning figurative references, and in the 1950s, with abstract expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting from then on.
Rothko’s canvases, enormous, show large rectangular fields of color with blurred boundaries between them. The colors are hazy, floating suspended on the canvas, evoking mystically interesting sensations.
From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution in American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes were notable. But in the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he ultimately took his own life.
