(*) Mark Rothko, along with Pollock, was one of the leading representatives of American abstraction. With his painting he aimed to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most fundamental universal emotions. And for many he succeeded. Mark Rothko was born in Russia. From a Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that drove so many minds away. He studied art in the 1920s, but regarded himself as self-taught. He cultivated expressive figuration before World War II and absorbed the spirit of the vanguards he saw in exhibitions organized by the MoMA. After the war he began investigating color field painting, gradually abandoning figurative references, and in the 1950s, with abstract expressionism already established, he began the personal abstraction that would define his painting from then on. Rothko’s paintings, immense, show large rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. The colors are blurred, floating suspended on the canvas, stimulating rather interesting mystical sensations. From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But by the late 1960s, amid a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works in black acrylic, he would end up taking his own life.
