(*) Mark Rothko, alongside Pollock, was one of the leading figures of American abstraction. With his painting he sought to achieve an ambitious utopia: to express the most basic universal emotions. And for many, he achieved it. Mark Rothko was born in Russia. From a clearly Jewish family, he emigrated to Oregon in 1910, probably fleeing the antisemitism that sent many minds away. He studied art in the 1920s, but considered himself self-taught. Before World War II he cultivated Expressionist figuration and soaked up the spirit of the vanguards he saw in MoMA-organized exhibitions. After the war he began to investigate 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 ever since. Rothko's paintings, monumental, show large rectangular fields of color with undefined boundaries between them. The colors are blurry, floating suspended in the canvas, evoking mystic sensations that are quite intriguing. From there, Mark Rothko would become an institution of American art. Protected by Peggy Guggenheim, his successes would be notable. But in the late 1960s, in the midst of a depressive crisis, and after painting his series of works in black acrylic, he would ultimately take his own life.
