MARK ROTHKO (1903-1970)
From rosy pink and jubilant yellow to bright blue to sombre black – face one of Mark Rothko’s vast canvases and you feel yourself being sucked into his world. Constructed layer upon shimmering layer, his colour fields are of unparalleled intensity and communicate universal human emotions such as fear, ecstasy, grief and euphoria. Rothko was an intensely committed painter who invested his whole being in his art and – like many other great artists – led a difficult life, deeply disillusioned by the two world wars and plagued by depression
