Untitled, 1969, Mark Rothko.
1936 Rothko with Pipe by Milton Avery drypoint on paper 18.3 x 17.2 cm Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC © Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko/DACS 2016 Mark Rothko was born Marcus Rothkowitz in Dvinsk, Russia in 1903. At the age of ten, Rothko and his mother and sister immigrated to America to join his father and brothers, who had previously settled in Portland, Oregon. From 1921 to 1923 Rothko attended Yale University on a full scholarship and then moved to New York City. In 1924 he enrolled in the Art Students League, studying with George Bridgman and Max Weber, in whose class he befriended Louis Harris. In 1929 Rothko began teaching children at the Centre Academy of the Brooklyn Jewish Centre, a position he retained for more than twenty years. He was given his first one-man exhibition in 1933 at the Museum of Art in Portland and his first in New York a few months later at the Contemporary Arts Gallery. The New York exhibition included landscapes, nudes, portraits, and city scenes. At the end of 1934 Rothko participated in an exhibition at the Gallery Secession, whose members included Louis Harris, Adolph Gottlieb, Ilya Bolotowsky and Joseph Solman; several months later they left the Secession to form their own group, the Ten, which exhibited together eight times between 1935 and 1939. Rothko's paintings in the Ten's exhibitions were expressionist in style. During this period he was employed by the WPA, (Works Progress Administration), where he produced many subway scenes emphasising the isolation of the riders. From the later 1930s to 1946 Rothko's oil and watercolour paintings reflected his interest in Greek mythology, primitive art, and Christian tragedy. In 1940, Rothko, along with his colleagues Gottlieb, Bolotowsky and Harris, broke with the American Artists' Congress on political grounds and became founding members of the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors. He was given, in 1945, a one-man exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim's gallery Art of This Century, which featured his surrealist works. At the end of the year he was included in the Whitney Museum of America Art's “Annual Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting.” In 1948 he joined William Baziotes, David Hare, and Robert Motherwell in founding an art school, the Subjects of the Artist, which closed within a year. By 1947 Rothko had eliminated all elements of surrealism or mythic imagery from his works, and non-objective compositions of indeterminate shapes emerged. Within three years he reached his signature format, painting two or three soft-edged, luminescent rectangles, stacked weightlessly on top of one another, floating horizontally against a ground. Now a recognised artist of the New York School, he was given, in 1954, a one-man exhibition by the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1958 Rothko accepted his first commission for a series of paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant. He received his second commission for murals in 1961 for the Holyoke Centre at Harvard University. From 1964 to 1967 Rothko worked on his third and last commission, a Roman Catholic chapel in Houston, now interdenominational, creating fourteen canvases, numerically corresponding to the Stations of the Cross. From 1968 on, he worked in acrylic on canvas and paper, reducing his palette to brown, grey, and black. Rothko was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1968. The following year Yale University awarded him an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree. In 1970 Rothko committed suicide in his studio.

Mark Rothko, No. 26, 1947 It seems we have two paintings labeled fairly reliably “no 26 1947″. It could certainly be that Rothko used this number twice that year, but I’m looking into it.
An excellent poster after oil on canvas painting "Untitled (Subway)" (circa 1937) by Mark Rothko. Printed on high quality paper. Publisher copy on back. Detailed. Rich colors. Excellent condition - never framed. Overall 14.5"W x 11.25"H Image 13.2"W x 8.75"H Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American Artists who completely revolutionized the essence and design 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 characterizes 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. Many among them, including Rothko, have become legendary figures. Quote from Mark Rothko on the back reads, "A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer." less

Los colores son parte fundamental de nuestra forma de ver la vida. Un elemento clave del mundo que nos rodea. Pero… ¿cómo puede un color -por sí mismo- transmitir una emoción? ¿Cómo un pigmento puede ser capaz de contener una vivencia?Ésta es una cuestión antigua, que ha dado mucho que reflexionar a numerosos artistas y filósofos. No obstante, para muy pocos ha supuesto una obsesión tan intensa como la que se hace patente en la obra de Mark Rothko.
