(*) 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 succeeded.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. From a clearly Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that sent so many minds away.
He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself 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 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, colossal in size, feature wide rectangular color fields with undefined boundaries between them. The colors are blurred, floating suspended on the canvas, eliciting mystic feelings that are quite intriguing.
From that point on, Mark Rothko became an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes were notable. But toward the end of the 1960s, in the midst of a depressive crisis, after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would end up taking his own life.
