Among his artistic philosophies, Mark Rothko (1903-1970) saw painting as a deeply psychological and spiritual experience through which fundamental human emotions could be communicated.

This groundbreaking volume examines the talent of the New York School pioneer and leading figure of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Illustrated with numerous reproductions of paintings, prints, and works on paper, this book highlights Rothko's best-known works alongside more confidential ones - from his early figurative and surrealist works to his large-scale colour fields, the more restricted palette of his later works, and his final series of black-and-grey paintings.

Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko draw on an intimate knowledge of the artist's artworks and life to give a fuller picture of their father and place him in the context of art history; they strive to give an unbiased portrait of the man and his work, while introducing personal details where they may be revealing. This book is the first to include pamphlets featuring works from the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Rothko Room in the Phillips Collection in Washington.
