Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970): Transcendent “Multiforms”

“And if you, as you say, are moved only by the color relationships, then you miss the point”, Mark Rothko.

Mark Rothko was one of the avant-garde artists of the New York School, an American abstract expressionist painter with Russian-Jewish origin who used color as his main means of painting. Like most of the artists after the Second World War, he turned to introspection and sought individual expression in subtractive art.
