Mark Rothko

Description

(Sept 25, 1903 – Feb 25, 1970)

Mark Rothko was a twentieth century painter whose career involved experimentation with a variety of styles, including surrealism, abstract expressionism, cubism, and his own creation of “multiform” art involving fields of color. He drew inspiration from his study of a diverse group of artists, as well as citing mythology, primitive art, and the art of children as influences on his work. As his reputation grew and attracted interest in the art community, he agreed to take on commissions to produce murals and other works. Among those efforts were ones for the Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram’s Building in New York City and for a building at Harvard University.

“The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate basic human emotions.”
