Description
A titan among Modern painters,
Mark Rothko once said that the subject
matter of his paintings was the extremes of
human emotion. His extraordinary achievement was the communication of tragedy and
elation through forms reduced to starkest
simplicity—oftentimes a pair of rectangles.
Born Marcus Rothkowitz in a Latvian Jewish
community, the artist emigrated to the
United States at the age of 10. After a series
of artistic metamorphoses, he established
himself as a leader among New York’s
artistic avant-garde in the late 1940s. Rothko
worked on large canvases, but he felt that
the scale was intimate, establishing a close
physical relationship with the viewer. Discover
the power of Rothko’s deceptively simple
compositions in these 2025 calendars.
