The Art of Mark Rothko
Overview
This film traces the elusive trajectory of Mark Rothko (1903-1970), the American master of abstract expressionism who called his work "a pharmacy for the soul." Moving from Latvia to the US as a child, he left Yale to paint, later inspired by Italy to create his iconic color fields. Full of vibrant colors, drama, and emotion, this subtle portrait makes his legendary art shine forth.
