Description
Mark Rothko: A Consummate Freedom of Expression This book explores the life and work of Mark Rothko, a prominent advocate for the artist's freedom of expression. Rothko's artistic journey resisted classification, and he rejected the label of Abstract Expressionist, instead seeking a direct connection between the picture and the viewer. Rothko's iconic canvases of bold color blocks, featuring red, yellow, ochre, maroon, black, or green, were a departure from his earlier figurative works. These shimmering, pulsating color masses contained the tragedy of the human condition, yet empowered the viewer to engage with the expressive potential of his work. Through his art, Rothko believed that a picture lived by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer. This book delves into the intellect and influence of Rothko's dramatic, intimate, and revolutionary work, introducing his artistic development from early beginnings to his most famous color fields.
