More About This Textbook

Overview

With contributions by John Gage, Carol Mancusi-Ungaro, Barbara Novak, Brian O'Doherty, and Mark Rosenthal, This richly illustrated book reproduces in full color more than one hundred of Mark Rothko's paintings, prints, and drawings, including many of the stunningly simple yet enthralling rectangle paintings for which he is famous. The volume provides commentary on various formal aspects of Rothko's work, interviews with contemporary artists who reflect on Rothko's artistic legacy, and a chronology of the Russian-born artist's life (1903-1970).

Author Biography: Jeffrey Weiss is associate curator of twentieth-century art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. He is the author of The Popular Culture of Modern Art: Picasso, Duchamp, and Avant-Gardism, 1909-1917, published by Yale University Press.

Phyllis Tuchman
....Weiss's text situates Rothko's oeuvre within an absorbing cultural context....[He] creates a new way to distinguish Rothko's urban achievements from those of, say Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning during their "landscape" years...
