Biography: Mark Rothko was born as Marcus Rothkowitz in 1903 to a Jewish family in Daugavpils, Latvia, in what was then part of the Russian Empire. His family emigrated to the United States (Portland, Oregon), in 1913 to escape anti-semitism and to avoid having Mark and his brothers drafted into the Czarist army during World War I. Rothko's use of rectangular motifs in his paintings might be evocative of the grave pits for pogrom victims he remembered from his childhood. After a couple years at Yale, he began studying art when he was 20, with Arshile Gorky and Max Weber, both also Russian Jews, as his teachers at the New School of Design and the Art Students League in New York City. Initially experimenting with Surrealism, he later moved to creating purely abstract paintings. He is generally included among the Abstract Expressionists, although his focus on the juxtaposition of color fields marks his work as being more abstract than expressionistic. Other "color field" painters include Morris Louis, Barnett Newman, and Kenneth Noland. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
