(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was the leading figure of American abstraction. With his painting he aimed to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most universal basic emotions. And for many he achieved it.
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 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 wide rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries 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 of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes were notable. But by the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would commit suicide.
