Mark Rothko Prints And Paintings
Mark Rothko remains a significant member of the 20th art scene, and starred in America with his innovative abstract paintings. Mark Rothko came from humble beginnings in Latvia before leaving for the United States which was to provide him with the opportunities that he needed in order to make the most of his creative talent.
This article will draw your attention to some of the most important paintings from the artist's career as well as considering his life outside of the art world as well.
Rothko is well known today for his highly abstract paintings which tend to feature simple areas of colour which provide a simple look which at that time was highly innovative and has also inspired many younger artists ever since.
Those who appreciate this artist may also be interested in fellow American painter, Jackson Pollock, whose style was equally abstract but perhaps a little more busy and aggressive which points to the different characters of these two individuals.
Famous paintings from the artist included Violet, Green and Red, Untitled (Violet, Black, Orange, Yellow on White and Red), Number 5, Orange and Yellow, White over Red, No. 3, 1967 and also Blue, Green, and Brown. There are also many others worth checking out as he was consistent with this theme, but had plenty of time to experiment with it in many ways. Those not knowledgeable on art history may question his qualities on first sight, but the truth is that his ideas were ground-breaking and helped to bring abstract art into an accepted area of the mainstream art scene, having for that previously over many years.
Mark Rothko prints have become popular recently in the United States for art fans who want something simple to add to their home which will complement rather than dominate a room. The relative lack of detail used by this artist makes much of his work ideal for this task.
Rothko frequently used primary colours and rarely went with gradients as he desired a bold finish each time, with reds, yellows and oranges often placed besides more neutral greys to give a clear focus to each work.
