Description

Mark Rothko: From the Inside Out is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the life and art of one of the 20th century's most influential artists.

Written by his son, Christopher Rothko, this book offers a unique perspective on Mark Rothko's work, synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes to provide a nuanced understanding of the artist's oeuvre. The author draws on an intimate knowledge of the artworks to present eighteen essays that examine the ways in which Rothko's paintings foster a profound connection between viewer and artist.

The book provides extended treatment of notable commissions, lesser-known works, and reassessments of key periods in Rothko's career, as well as discussions of his writings, music, and the enduring challenges of visual abstraction. A moving exploration of the author's relationship with his father adds a personal dimension to this thoughtful reexamination of a legendary artist.
