Mark Rothko's awe-inspiring yet deceptively simple, iconic colour field
paintings belie the mythical and emotional complexity behind them.
Rothko put his heart and soul into creating works that were to act upon
the viewer in an almost physical way, progressing from figurative and
symbolist works to eventually using shimmering and enveloping colour to
elevate you to a higher spiritual awareness. This gorgeous book enables
you to discover the themes, thinking and methodology behind the oeuvre,
from Greek tragedy and Nietzsche to music and colour, whilst
experiencing his pieces displayed in full, free of clutter, for you to
immerse yourself and be swept away.
