More about the book
This volume contains a survey of the works by Russian-born American painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970). Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting. Rothko characterized this relationship as a consummated experience between picture and onlooker. His color formations indeed draw the observer into a space filled with an inner light. He was mainly concerned with the viewer's experience, the merging of work and recipient beyond verbal comprehension
