Mark Rothko (HC)

American artist Mark Rothko is one of the most important figures of Abstract Expressionism, and in fact, of 20th-century painting as a whole. His paintings, predominantly in a large format and featuring horizontal layers of pigment on a monochrome foundation, epitomize classical modernism. This book features a large, uninterrupted plate section of more than 100 of his works that brings to life the power of these paintings. It also includes essays about specific groups of work, an extensive, year by year, descriptive chronology of his life and work, and a bibliography of writings about him from the past five years. An essential addition to any collection on 20th century art. Includes 102 color and 52 black and white illustrations.
