Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

Mark Rothko (1903-1970) is generally considered, along with Jackson Pollock, the preeminent artist of the group of painters who, during the 1940s and '50s, re-invented American art and became known as the Abstract Expressionists. Yet despite his success--people cried when they stood in front of his sublimely spiritual canvases--he suffered from intense anxiety and depression, and eventually took his own life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Presentation !, Nov 9 2003

William N. Botts (Elizabethton, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essential: Mark Rothko (Hardcover)
This concise but very informational book is a must for anyone interested in the works of Rothko, and for those who want to know about the rise of abstract expressionism. There are full color illustrations provided which add greatly to the narrative!
The margin notes have a wealth of background material, without being too bogged down in minutia.
This work has been a wonderful addition to my art library as I am certain it will be to others.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Essential: Mark Rothko (Hardcover)
A terrific book for those who are knowledgeable about the artist and those who are not. Ottmann packs a lot of history into his stimulating and extremely well-written pages. Ottmann's compelling and accessible prose makes this book hard to put down. Highly recommended.
