Inspired By | Mark Rothko
Known for his rectangular fields of color and light, Mark Rothko was an influential abstract expressionist who feared that “modern American painting had reached a conceptual dead end.” Fascinated by form, space and color, rather than urban and nature scenes—the popular subjects of his time—Rothko sought to communicate basic human emotions through his work, including tragedy, ecstasy and doom. This spring you can experience Rothko's paintings, displayed as he intended in a compact room with subtle lighting, at the Tate Modern until March 22nd, 2020, or visit Houston’s renowned Rothko Chapel when it reopens to the public in June 2020.
