Mark Rothko's iconic paintings are some of the most profound works of twentieth-century Abstract Expressionism. This collection presents fifty large-scale artworks from the American master's color field period (1949–1970) alongside essays by Rothko's son, Christopher Rothko, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art curator of painting and sculpture Janet Bishop. Featuring illuminating details about Rothko's life, influences, and legacy, and brimming with the emotional power and expressive color of his groundbreaking canvases, this essential volume brings the renowned artist's luminous work to light for both longtime Rothko fans and those discovering his work for the very first time. A textured case and large-scale tip-on on the front cover round out this sumptious package.
Marcus Rothkowitz was born in Dvinsk, Russia (now part of Latvia), in 1903. He immigrated to the United States in 1910, settling in Portland, Oregon, where his older brother had already moved and the rest of the family would relocate within a few years. He enrolled at Yale University on a scholarship in 1921 and pursued a general liberal arts curriculum, but he dropped out in 1923 and moved to New York City, where he began his first formal art training—life drawing classes—at the Arts Students League. He began using shorter forms of his name as early as 1940, and he changed it legally in 1959.
