-Mark Rothko and Adolph Gotllieb manifesto, published in 1943 in the New York Times.
Anyone who knows me knows, my favorite artist is Mark Rothko. But it always seems to me that he gets overshadowed by other artist in the late 20th century or simply no one knows who he is. This Blog is meant to correct fix that.
The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artists Series by Bonnie Clearwater. Image taken from google images.
This book is from the Tate Musuem in the UK. I’ve mentioned them before on this blog. They currently have a Rothko Room in which the Segrum paintings are displayed. If recently discovered Rothko or just want to learn more about him I think this would be a good place to start.
“Written by leading experts on the artists Mark Rothko (1903–1970) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His work is intensely charged with meaning and emotion, portraying human feelings rather then color or form. In this lavishly illustrated survey, Bonnie Clearwater traces the development of Rothko’s career, from his arrival in the United States as a child through to the formation of his mature style, and examines his initial influences and interactions with other artists. Drawing on the artist’s own letters and writings, The Rothko Bookprovides the most comprehensive introduction yet to this complex and fascinating figure.”
