Mark Rothko - Untitled 1956

Poster reprint of Mark Rothko / Untitled 1956 Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was the maximum representative of American abstraction. With his painting he wanted to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he succeeded. Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. From an obviously Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the anti-Semitism for which so many brains escaped. He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself self-taught. Before the Second Great War, he cultivated expressionist figuration and imbibed the spirit of the avant-garde that he saw in the exhibitions organized by MoMA. After the war he began to investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning all figurative references and in the 1950s, with abstract expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting from then on. Mark Rothko's enormous paintings show wide rectangular color fields with undefined limits between them. They are blurred colors, floating suspended on the canvas, stimulating quite interesting mystical sensations. From then on, Mark Rothko would become an institution in American art. A protégé of Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be remarkable. But at the end of the 60's, in the midst of a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would end up committing suicide. Size: 50 x 70 cm. All posters have been selected by art lovers for art lovers. This item is shipped certified with a tracking number and carefully protected.
