(*) Mark Rothko, alongside Pollock, was one of the foremost representatives of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many he accomplished it. Markus Rothkovitz was born in Russia. From an evidently Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds away. He studied art in the 1920s but considered himself self-taught. He cultivated 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 investigate color field painting, gradually abandoning figurative references, 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, enormous, display broad rectangular color fields with undefined boundaries between them. They are blurred colors, floating suspended on the canvas, evoking mystically interesting sensations. From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes were notable. But in the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works with black acrylic, he ultimately took his own life.
