Mark Rothko (1903 - 1970)
Marcus Rothkowitz born in Dvinsk, Russian in
1903. In 1913 his family resettled in Portland,
Oregon and he attended Yale University although
did not graduate. He moved to New York and
studied at the Art Students League under Max
Weber.
Rothko was a founding member of Ten, a group of
artists sympathetic to the abstract and
expressionist movement. Rothko is considered a
seminal figure in the abstract expressionist
movement. By the 1940's Rothko had developed his
signature style of floating rectangular in
blocks of color. In 1945 Peggy Guggenheim gave
him a one-man show at Art of this Century in New
York.
From 1947 - 1949 Rothko taught at the California
School of Fine Arts where Clyfford Still was a
fellow instructor.
Mark Rothko died by his own hand in 1970.
