(*) 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 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 self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated expressive figuration and soaked in the spirit of the avant-garde he saw in exhibitions organized by MoMA.
After the war he began to explore color field painting, gradually abandoning figurative references, and in the 1950s, 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. The colors are blurred, floating suspended on the canvas, evoking quite interesting mystical sensations.
From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of 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.
