Mark Rothko 1903–1970 : pictures as drama

Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting. Rothko characterized this relationship as “a consummated experience between picture and onlooker”. His colour formations indeed draw the observer into a space filled with an inner light.
