Mark Rothko Abstract Wall Art Prints

A young painter with Russian-Jewish origins by the name Marcus Rothkovitch (Mark Rothko) emerged on the artistic stage of the United States in 1930’s. In New-York, representing the biggest Modernism-blowing platform at the time, Rothko found himself in a delightful atmosphere, promising remarkable achievements on his part. Looking for soul mates starting from these early years and as a result incorporating with several contemporary painters, the Artist was seemingly alone in his attempts to ascertain himself within the hailing artistic stance.

The initial phase of his career was evidently connected to realistic art that shortly left the Painter’s field of interest, leaning more and more towards the new-day creativeness. Rothko discovered in himself surrealistic inclinations that together with his particular passion for the Greek mythology that enabled him to create his own niche where to further develop his formal language and explore original topics. And this happened in line with the growing conceptualization of the voguish modernistic tendencies. Mythological or Biblical interpretation of his canvases, was directly linked with Rothko’s predisposition to reveal the mankind’s spiritual desolation by giving way to subconscious vitality. Having gathered his theoretical points of view in a work that was never published, the Artist underlined obvious relations between the art of his time and a child’s naïve creativity, hinting at that at color as a global basis for painting. Rothko’s meticulous interest towards the mentioned formal element was equally scrupulously illustrated starting from his early pieces to later works.

In the ‘40s of the 20th century, the Painter’s pursuit of philosophical ambivalence and experimentation with color, as a leading means of expression of human emotions, nonchalantly stepped out from surrealism and assimilated itself with abstract art. From this period onward, Rothko’s numerous paintings, having as a basis a kind of geometry of colors, signified a truly unique yet inseparable part of Abstract Expressionism. Regardless of the Artist’s unwillingness to be ranked among the painters of this movement, the latter seemed to have indubitable impact over his artistic attraction. Multiple forms introduced to canvas via the interrelation of warmer and bright colors transposing into darker chromatic shapes while evolving towards his later works, became the only instrument of communication with the viewer, intending to deliver emotional energy. These “unknown adventures in an unknown space” empowered Rothko to finally divide the real and visionary, granting the truth of existence solely to the plain surfaces.

Having never obtained the true understanding of his endeavors neither from art critics nor from the admirers of his art, Mark Rothko had been devoted to his solitary exaltation throughout his career, aiming only at reaching human soul.
