(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was one of the leading figures of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many, he achieved it.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of evidently Jewish heritage, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism through which so many minds escaped.
He studied art in the 1920s, but regarded himself as self-taught. He cultivated figurative expressionism before World War II and absorbed the spirit of the vanguards he saw in MoMA exhibitions.
After the war he began to investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning all figurative reference, and in the 50s, with abstract expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting ever since.
Rothko’s paintings, enormous, show broad rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurry colors, floating suspended on the canvas, stimulating mystical 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 60s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would end up taking his own life.
