About the book >.>.> I am interested only in expressing basic human emotions – tragedy ecstasy doom” – Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970) said of his paintings. “If you are moved only by their colour relationships then you miss the point.” Throughout his career Rothko was concerned with what other people experienced when they looked at his canvases. As his work shifted from figurative imagery to luminous fields of colour his concern expanded to the setting in which his paintings were exhibited. In a series of analytic personal and even poetic essays by contemporary scholars this volume explains how Rothko’s most compelling creations elicit such profound and varied responses. This volume also reproduces for the first time Rothko’s “Scribble Book” in which he jotted down his ideas on teaching art to children and a sketchbook both dating to the early years of the artist’s career. “Seeing Rothko” includes essays by David Antin Dore Ashton Thomas Crow John Elderfield Briony Fer Charles Harrison Miguel Lopez-Remiro Sarah Rich and Jeffrey Weiss an introduction by Glenn Phillips and a bibliography of Rothko’s own writings.
