THE PRINT

“I'm not an abstractionist. I'm not interested in the relationship of colour or form or anything else. I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.” - Mark Rothko

Mark Rothko moved through several artistic styles in his career before arriving at his signature colour focussed style in 1950. A prominent figure in the New York school (also known as Abstract Expressionism), Rothko used abstract means to express emotions as rectangular fields of colour. 

In 1978, the Guggenheim Museum organised a major retrospective, Mark Rothko 1903-1970. This gallery quality giclee art print reproduction of an advertising poster promoting the exhibition has been produced on luxurious heavyweight textured art paper using archival inks that won't fade over time resulting in a superior print with pin-sharp detail, rich vivid colours and unparalleled durability.

We adore the colour palette that Rothko employs in this captivating and stylish artwork. The iron red, tan and black colour combination is an absolute winner that works wonderfully with most modern interior colour schemes. Incidentally our founder Scott Sutherland has this artwork in the largest size displayed as a feature artwork in his living room.

THE ARTIST

One of the preeminent artists of his generation, Mark Rothko is closely identified with the New York school, a circle of painters that emerged during the 1940s as a new collective voice in American art. During a career that spanned five decades, he created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting. Rothko's work is characterised by rigorous attention to formal elements such as colour, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale.  By 1949 Rothko had introduced a compositional format that he would continue to develop throughout his career. Composed of several vertically aligned rectangular forms set within a coloured field, Rothko's "image" lent itself to a remarkable diversity of appearances. In these works, large scale, open structure, and thin layers of color combine to convey the impression of a shallow pictorial space. Colour, for which Rothko's work is perhaps most celebrated, here attains an unprecedented luminosity. His classic paintings of the 1950s are characterised by expanding dimensions and an increasingly simplified use of form, brilliant hues, and broad, thin washes of colour. In his large, floating rectangles of colour, which seem to engulf the spectator, he explored with a rare mastery of nuance the expressive potential of colour contrasts and modulations.<
