Description

Mark Rothko aimed to create paintings that achieved his ideal of “the simple expression of the complex thought.” His signature compositions of two to four rectangular forms, aligned vertically against a color ground, create wide-ranging moods and atmospheric effects. Contemplating a Rothko painting can be akin to a spiritual experience. This book of postcards pays homage to the revolutionary abstract expressionist with 30 reproductions of his paintings.

Artist

Mark Rothko

Mark Rothko, one of the preeminent modern artists of his generation, said that the subject matter of his paintings was the extremes of human emotion. During a career that spanned five decades, Rothko (American, b. Russia, 1903–1970) developed an innovative form of abstract painting characterized by rigorous attention to formal elements such as color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale. His early stylistic experimentation distilled into the Abstract Expressionism of his mature work—large-scale paintings featuring rectangular shapes of saturated color and shimmering emotional presence. By the late 1940s, when the devastation of a global war had shunted creative impulses into radically new directions, Rothko was an established and influential leader among New York’s artistic avant-garde.
