(*) Mark Rothko, alongside Pollock, was the leading figure of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he achieved it. Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. Of obviously Jewish family background, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds to escape. He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself self-taught. He developed expressionist figuration before World War II and absorbed the spirit of the vanguards he saw in exhibitions organized by the MoMA. After the war he began to explore 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 thereafter. Rothko’s works, enormous, display broad rectangular color fields with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurred colors, 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 were notable. But at the end of the 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he would end up taking his own life.
