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.
