Strand Notes

This book reveals the broad scope of Mark Rothko's career, from his early representations of New York City, through his treatment of images from classical mythology, to the abstract paintings that distinguish his signature style. The selection of works emphasizes Rothko's investigation of certain compositional formats and motifs, concluding with the so-called black-and-gray paintings of 1969-1970. With four essays that address Rothko's classic works from the vantage of psecific formal elements: color, darkness, surface, and space. Subjects range from his painting techniques to the philosophical themes that preoccupied him in his pursuit of an emotionally and intellectually expressive art. Also includes a full chronology and interviews with five artists about the Rothko legacy. Illus.
