Description: Mark Rothko by Francesco Matteuzzi, Giovanni Scarduelli This unique portrait of Mark Rothko captures his astonishing use of color as it illustrates the story of his life, career, struggles, and philosophy. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This unique portrait of Mark Rothko captures his astonishing use of colour as it illustrates the story of his life, career, struggles, and philosophy. Mark Rothkos work is among the most recognisable in modern art history. His huge colour-field works enjoy enormous popularity for their luminosity, moodiness, and immersive qualities. But he didnt always paint in bold, simple swaths of colour. This graphic biography traces Rothkos entire life, from his boyhood emigration from Russia to America, to his suicide in 1970. It touches on his schooling and early work for the WPA in the 1930s; the evolution of his art from representational to purely abstract; and the dawning of his artistic philosophy, which took him farther and farther away from the material world and toward a universally emotional and expressionist modality. The books finely detailed drawings are Rothkos signature colours and draw readers into his fascinating creative journey. While Rothko the artist was largely misunderstood during his lifetime, this unique graphic biography offers a way of making sense of his life and of decoding the visual language he invented.
