(*) Mark Rothko, together with Pollock, was one of the supreme representatives of American abstraction. Through 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 evidently Jewish descent, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove many minds away. He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself largely self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated expressionist figuration and absorbed the spirit of the avant-gardes he saw in exhibitions organized by the MoMA. After the war he began to explore color field painting, gradually abandoning figurative references and, in the 1950s, with abstract expressionism already established, began the personal abstraction that would define his painting ever since. Rothko’s paintings, monumental, show large rectangular fields of color with blurred boundaries between them. The colors are hazy, floating suspended on the canvas, arousing quite fascinating mystical sensations. From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But in the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works in black acrylic, he eventually took his own life.
