Synopsis
Violent and serene, visceral and cerebral, mystical and transcendental - Mark Rothko's luminous canvases elicit a remarkable range of intense reactions. In a series of analytic, personal, and even poetic essays by contemporary scholars, "Seeing Rothko" explores the experience of standing before Rothko's most compelling artistic creations. Throughout his artistic career, Mark Rothko (1903-70) was concerned with what other people saw when they looked at his canvases. As his work shifted from figurative imagery to glowing fields of colour, his concern expanded to the settings in which his canvases where exhibited. This book also includes a bibliography of texts by Rothko.

paperback. Written by leading experts on the artists Mark Rothko (1903ā"1970) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His work is intensely charged with meaning and emotion, portraying human feelings rather then color or form. In this lavishly illustrated survey, Bonnie Clearwater traces the development of Rothkoās career, from his arrival in the United States as a child through to the formation of his mature style, and examines his initial influences and interactions with other artists. Drawing on the artistās own letters and writings, The Rothko Book provides the most comprehensive introduction yet to this complex and fascinating figure.
