(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was one of the leading figures of American abstraction. With his painting he aimed to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he accomplished it.
Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of obviously Jewish ancestry, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds away.
He studied art in the 1920s, but he considered himself self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated expressionist figuration and absorbed the spirit of the vanguards he saw in MoMA-organized exhibitions.
After the war he began to investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning all figurative reference and in the 1950s, with abstract expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting from then on.
Rothko’s paintings, huge, show broad rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. The colors are blurred, floating suspended on the canvas, stimulating quite interesting mystical sensations.
From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But at the end of the 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series with black acrylic, he ultimately committed suicide.
