(*) Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was the leading figure of American abstraction. With his painting he aimed to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many, he succeeded.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of evidently Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds to escape.
He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself autodidact. He cultivated expressionist figuration before World War II and soaked up the spirit of the vanguards he saw in exhibitions organized by the 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 wide rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurred colors that float suspended on the canvas, evoking quite fascinating 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 committed suicide.
