Resisting interpretation or classification, Mark Rothko (1903–1970) was a prominent advocate for the artist’s consummate freedom of expression. Although identified as a key protagonist of the Abstract Expressionist movement, first formed in New York City, Rothko rejected the label and insisted instead on “a consummated experience between picture and onlooker.”
Following a repertoire of figurative works, Rothko developed his now iconic canvases of bold color blocks in red, yellow, ochre, maroon, black, or green. With these shimmering, pulsating color masses, Rothko stressed that he had not removed the human figure but rather put symbols or shapes in its place. These intense color forms contained all the tragedy of the human condition. At the same time, Rothko explicitly empowered the viewer in the expressive potential of his work. He believed “A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer.”
From his early development through to his most famous color fields, this book introduces the intellect and influence of Rothko’s dramatic, intimate, and revolutionary work.

Jacob Baal-Teshuva (1929-2022) was an author, critic, and independent curator of museum shows. He studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at New York University. His numerous publications include works on Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
Mark Rothko (1903-1970) fue un gran defensor de la total libertad de expresión del artista y rehuyó las clasificaciones y cualquier intento de interpretación de sus cuadros. Aunque se le considera una figura clave del expresionismo abstracto, formado en la ciudad de Nueva York, Rothko rechazaba las etiquetas e insistía en la creación de ?una experiencia plena entre el cuadro y el espectador?.Tras una etapa figurativa, Rothko desarrolló sus emblemáticos lienzos de bloques de vivos colores en rojo, amarillo, ocre, marrón, negro o verde. Subrayó que no había eliminado la figura humana con esos brillantes y vívidos espacios de color, sino que la había sustituido por símbolos o formas que contenían toda la tragedia de la condición humana. Al mismo tiempo atribuía explícitamente al espectador el poder de interpretar su obra. Según decía: ?Un cuadro vive en compañía, expandiéndose y cobrando vida ante los ojos del espectador sensible?.Desde sus tempranos inicios hasta sus campos de color más famosos, este libro descubre la inteligencia e influencia de la obra dramática, íntima y revolucionaria de Rothko.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting. Rothko characterized this relationship as "a consummated experience between picture and onlooker". His colour formations indeed draw the observer into a space filled with an inner light. Rothko always resisted attempts to interpret his paintings. He was mainly concerned with the viewer's experience, the merging of work and recipient beyond verbal comprehension. Rothko was an intellectual, a thinker, a highly educated man. He loved music and literature and was very involved in philosophy, especially in the works of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and of ancient Greek philosophy and mythology. Rothko was a protagonist within the movement of American painters who became known as the Abstract Expressionists. First formed in New York City during the inter-war years, this group was also called the New York School. In all the history of art, they became the first American artists to receive international recognition as a significant movement. Many among them, including Rothko, have become legendary figures. Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting.
