Mark Rothko, born in 1903 in Daugavpils, Latvia, and passed away in 1970 in New York City, the United States of America, is one of the most celebrated artists of his generation, pioneering Abstract Expressionism and Color Field Painting. His works are marked by a radical approach towards the formal elements of painting - think of color, shape, composition, and scale - producing mesmerizing tableaus, most often large in scale, composing vertically aligned rectangular forms of large planes of color. Rothko layers these shapes, creating horizontal bands in which the adjacent colors tremble, vibrate, and even seem to emanate light. These radical abstract works seem to be imbued by the presence of a high philosophical truth. A spiritual character resides beneath the brushstrokes. Rothko succeeds in having a direct emotional impact with the beholder, in a similar way as music. His works are also linked to tragedy, ecstasy, and the sublime. Rothko believed strongly an abstract painting can directly represent the fundamental nature of human drama. In fact, he struggled with his own human drama, as a troubled figure with tormented thoughts, suffering off melancholia, before committing suicide in 1970 in New York City. This is the story of: Mark Rothko.

Dear readers and subscribers, welcome to our second presentation of the series 'The Story of'. Last time, we discussed the career of David Hockney. Today, we take on the one and only Mark Rothko. Did you know Rothko's earlier works before 1947 were expressionist? And have you ever witnessed those vast planes of trembling colour in real life? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Chat soon!
Good questions, which I'll try to answer in the comments if I may..
@@ivanklymenko Of course!
Was lucky enough to see him seated alone at table in MOMA's garden one day. I went over and told him I loved his paintings but was too shy to say anything else. He thanked me and I left. Have since read much about him and what I love above all is how generous he was with his money. Always asking young artists he knew if they had enough money when he met them. Surely a sensitive soul like Mark is now enjoying a wonderful next life.
I envy you you had the chance to meet him personally-no matter how briefly. Thank you for your comment and for tuning in. Have a great day!
You should have told him a joke...
❤
I have seen the rothko room at the tate in London about 33 years ago, there was a woman sat transfixed dressed in the same colours as the paintings, she was there for hours, I didn't think much about his work when I was a young artist, but it's grown on me, and I now really appreciate the energy in his work, one thing is for sure it's almost a spiritual experience for many people, and I'd love to see his work again someday.
From Paris : Thank you very much. I appréciate Rothko so much !
The pleasure is all mine!
There’s something about Rothko’s work that moves me, that feels almost primal. I saw an exhibit of his work at the Tate modern a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed soaking it in. I’d not seen his early work before this video, and it’s always interesting to see an artists evolution. Much like great jazz musicians, it seems like he learnt the advanced techniques, then managed to boil it down to the essentials.
I say this rarely; ..VERY WELL DONE VIDEO. I now understand the man; therefore his art. Thank you.
Well done. One of my favourite artists--everything speeds up & slows down when I look at his paintings.
Hi there, thank you for tuning in and for your kind words. He's one of my favorite artists as well. Thank you for your most eloquent comments in the discussions here, I enjoyed reading them!
Crap. It’s all crap. The paintings and your words.
Sublime painter, very interesting to see the early work. Thank you.
Exactly, his early works aren't easy to find in fact. What a development, and what an artist. The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in
Thanks for the bio, good to see the earlier forms paintings too. I was lucky to visit the Rothko Chapel in Houston.
Thank you for tuning in, would love to visit the Rothko Chapel in Houston in the foreseeable future.
Absolutely love the depth of his work, transcends life xxx
Help! I am seriously addicted to Rothko's work. I saw his works in Tate, and I have to admit it was an experience.
Help! I have the same issue. I saw the Seagram Murals in Tate Modern as well and simply did not want to leave the room. It was just too good. The first time I saw his works was in Den Hague with a major Rothko retrospective, showcasing mostly his works from 1949 up to 1955. Exquisite works with terrific colours. I hope to visit the Rothko Chapel as well one day.
@@contemporaryartissue Thank you for this amazing video. May I dare to suggest you make a video about Yves Klein? When I was 15, there was an exhibition here in Athens, Greece, with works from MoMA. And there, I saw a huge blue monochrome painting by Yves Klein. I had no idea about art, let alone why I felt so drawn to that painting. Untill today, I can't explain the impact that painting had on me.
@@contemporaryartissue there are some awesome ones in New York too…….. amazing artist
@@konstantinospapaioannou2588 Yes, Yves Klein is terrific and we should do a video on him for sure. I only saw his works once at BOZAR but I drowned into the blue straight away. Excellent suggestion, thank you!
@@dnlgrmn7169 For sure! Such a vibrant art city
Mark Rothko, has portrayed the human condition, as a parameter that is an essential factor, in the ups and downs that preoccupied us as humans. The essence of his work, is to get into this form of journeying. His works have left an indelible mark, in this century of invention, discovering and more. His work is presence to be felt, as spirit.
Very well put to words. People spontaneously starting to cry or tremble in front of his works proves this statement strongly. Thank you for tuning in Antonio and for your eloquent comment.
🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dr Freud I presume .
I appreciate your presentation efforts more than his works. Thanks.
Well, thank you for the kind words and thank you for tuning in!
Thanks for this video , cannot say much more as I am still thinking about it, I will watch again at least three more times and will comment after in weeks or months to come if your video and Mr Rothko's idea was to induce thought then with me you are both successful
Dear Vincent, thank you so much for tuning in and for your thoughtful words. My best regards from Belgium
Amazing journey
Mark
Sure is! Thank you for tuning in, best wishes from Belgium
was lovely thank you!
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in!
He gave us the mystery of transcendence with all its nuances. Our eyes surround us of contemplation. Genius 👍
Exactly, I feel Rothko is as close a painter can get to the sublime since Caspar David Friedrich
@@contemporaryartissue In agreement, the mysterious amalgamation of our soul, spirit and pure and real feelings with nature in a magnificent whole. CF was splendid. I like de Chirico too. He left his mark.👍
Thank you and greetings from Chuy/Uruguay.
A Beautiful and Informative video. I really appreciate. Cape Town
Thank you so much for your kind words. Best wishes from Belgium
A mastero alive in soul and spirit may he rip and may he be blessed forever and each painting of his is a living legend carrying hus soul thats his statement understand his philosophy and the power of manifestation my prayers and salutes to this gteat artist who lives and emancipates his rheory through tmhis great artworks definitely a feast for art lovers and thise who vakue great works ❤
I appreciate this so much and feel saddened for Mark and empathize on a deep level as an artist. I feel like i understand (maybe) his frustration of not being understood as an artist- the public only gave him recognition and expected / praised his bare minimum work. He was literally boxed into this work / pun intended. He was so talented, but only credited for painting the same thing in different shades of color. As an artist, how painful that must have felt not to be able to express yourself.
Beautiful
Absolutely! Thank you for tuning in!
Hi, I also had no idea that Rothko was painting other things. Thank you for this video.
The pleasure is al mine, thank you for tuning in!
Beautiful peaceful soul yet so violent upon himself
Indeed. Thank you for tuning in!

Hi Maurice, thank you for tuning in. The pleasure is all mine, Rothko is a truly iconic artist
gapjin art
thank you so much
The pleasure is all mine!
Definitely the words do paralyze the imagination. I know this from my own experience as a musician/ improviser.
Yes I couldn't agree more. Rothko is as close to music as a visual artist can possible get. Instant impact.
The viewer is a participant in the drama within his large colour fields. ❤❤
A very well done video. I am very unfamiliar with his early work. Isn't time for one of the large museums to have a retrospective of his career? There are a few times that I have been in places where I have felt a truly spiritual moment: the first is the Hypogeum in Malta and the second is with Rothko's paintings. The good or great thing for me is that with the Rothko paintings I can re-experience that deep spiritual event every now and again. Keep up the great videos that you are producing.
Hi George, thank you for tuning in. His early works are very rarely included in his retrospectives. For instance, in 2019 he had major retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum in Schiedam (NL) and the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna (AT), only showcasing works from 1949 up to 1970, as is the case with almost all his retrospectives. Great anecdote on your spiritual experiences. I also believe strongly the experience of a Rothko is something one can re-experience. It nourishes the soul and strengthens me. If I could, I would for sure empty my bank account to own a Rothko. Sadly, I am afraid that's not an option. Maybe a good thing, because would not be able to do anything else than sitting in front of it. Thank you for your kind words George, stay in touch!
Was just at Rothko on paper in dc today. Was awesome
@@davidsalinas1418 I saw that exhibition on 12/30. Wonderful and worth while. Also, Phillips Collection has two paintings selected by his children to replace the Phillips paintings that went to the show in Paris
His paintings make me feel sad… definitely he achieved his task of transmitting his emotions.
Exactly! Thank you so much for tuning in
Great story
Great artist!
I’ve never really looked into Rothko’s work or his story but I must admit it’s pretty interesting to see his depth and style change. I’m a fan of his abstract period and characteristic colour fields. I believe he had no meaning for his later works just mere expressions of the spirit.
agreed
Grande!
The best!
@@contemporaryartissue io sono un artista Fiorentina, italiana e vedo in questo grande artista lo studio dell Rinascimento Fiorentino e di come abbia assorbito l equilibrio e l armonia restituendo tutto con la sua grande sensibilità grazie!
really well done. thank you julien. one of the greatest artists and you present this very nicely.
Hi Steven, one of the absolute greats indeed! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
Please let me know, what‘s the song playing in the beginning? It‘s too beautiful!
Of course, a beautiful soundtrack for sure! Here is the link to the video in question: ua-cam.com/video/STunjZM89CU/v-deo.html
I am a big fan of his tyrpglpch style soooo I see a relationship with Vivien beneschs protest paintings.. Wow! There's a lot of work to do yet with soooo much completed already..I could have a good computer printouts of future Rothko's tried -panels yes!
Sounds very interesting! Thank you so much for tuning in and for leaving a comment. Have a great day! JD
This guy helped me not to name my paintings. So as to give the viewer as much freedom as they can possibly get. Funnily it is mostly other artists who are provocated by this.
Those sure are some nice rectangular blobs.
Hello! I would like to answer your questions:
1. Of course, I did not know that the early works of Mark Rothko were expressionistic. If you take a retrospective of every successful artist, then in any case in the past he was in search, which means he painted something other than what he achieved success in. I also work in the direction of expressionism.
2. Huge planes of trembling color I saw at two exhibitions of Gerhard Richter, one was in Nuremberg and the second in Prague. Moreover, I myself work in the direction of Abstract art, while my largest painting size is 190 x 190cm.
Dear Ivan, thank your comment. All artists go through an experimental phase before they find their 'trait'. Rothko is indeed no exception. Richter is indeed a master a pure abstraction, I really enjoy his abstract works from the Tate collection in London. Best of luck with your works!
Rothko is to Art as Space-time is to Reality
Got here because Namjoon of BTS like Rothko's paintings. 💜
They are simply stunning!
@@contemporaryartissue I think Namjoon posted about visiting the Rothko Chapel in Houston, TX on his IG account (@/rkive). He often posts paintings/artworks of his favorite artists. His fans, the BTS ARMY, we become aware & learn about the artists on his logs. Its awe inspiring too.
@@LifeofGie_613 Sounds terrific!
Отлично!
Wow, these works have really triggered this community. Very powerful
Is the voice used for this video a computer generated voice? I recognize it from an entirely different YT video series...
Never understood Rothko, but I am thinking about Tension, surface Tension to be exact on first trying.
Layered painting produces different thicknesses that can produce slight shadows + the saccadic movement of the eye produces the sensation of movement- trembling . As for the spiritual interpretation horseshit , I'll leave that up to you.
Paintings in the Tate are monumental!
They absolutely do!
So sad, I never have seen any of them in real life, but they always struck me from what I have seen as being windows with no view. They looks like the empty windows that kids sometimes draw. I feel for his sadness.
Hi Julie, thank you for tuning and for your interesting comment. There seems to be a parallel with Vasari's window to the world here. But as Rothko stated, he did not want to paint an illusion - or a window with a view - but he aimed to paint 'the truth'. Thank you!
@@contemporaryartissue I understand that "the truth" for most of us amounts to what we believe it to be. For most, it is simply accepting some authority for truth. But for a creative, thinking person, truth is their own. I feel so bad for him that his truth led him to blackness and death. I do wish I had the opportunity to see his late works in person, I am sure the representations in photo and video do not show his intentions. Thank you.
I have the same👍😊
If you're ever in Washington, DC, visit the National Gallery of Art where they have a room of his and Barnett Newman's paintings for public viewing, free of charge.
@@rembeadgc Sounds terrific, thank you for the wonderful suggestion
...the master of hamburger painting...top of the bun , the filling , the bottom of the bun. BYO sauce.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
😁🙌🙌🙌
@@contemporaryartissue thank you so very much🙏🏼
You started by saying that he pioneered abstract expressionism, which he stated he was not a part of, and later you stated that he was mislabelled as an abstract expressionist by critics because he went beyond abstract expressionism. I would stick to what Rothko said if I were you. ❤
Rothko aimed to distance himself from the dominant gestural abstraction back in the day. His contribution and influence expanded the field of abstraction beyond gestural abstraction
"... end of his relationship"? -- "relationship"?
i know the pain....is that suffering mechanical in nature? devices used to get people "out of here?"playin those time dimensional games? i call the void....nothing interests you anymore....i hate it. but i deal with it from time to time in all dimensions....you can't appreciate anything until all is gone? or were just effed up...........
Hi Chad, thank you for tuning in and for your interesting comment on life's struggle with melancholia.
S=Pir^2 in cm^2 and cm^3
Lonely, tormented? You almost never get that in an artist
Exactly 😅
Yeah never happens! Every artist i know (edgar allen poe, amy winehouse, Francis Bacon, etc.) were all really happy and normal people
It's unbelievable that so much story can rise around a painter whose paintings start selling ridiculously high. That is the story of contemporary art. The story made up to justify by the art dealers the price in millions.
it's all tax dodges.
Why does the narrator sound like crappy deep fake audio?

Хороший маляр
One of the best!

"He refuses to explain the meaning of his works".
Four rectangles of different shapes and colors. Of course he refused, it's embarrassing to explain, and he knew it.
If you don’t understand art dont try and criticize it
@@Hhuhater If you think that's art, don't try to critize anything.
@@Bardamu3000 ive had my art in City Hall and at the UMOCA. Ive met multiple distinguished artists across my state. When it comes to art I know what im talking about. Do you have any credentials that prove you know anything about art?
@@Hhuhater your "art" exposed in city hall...a humble guy too, uh-oh!
Where can I see any of it?
@@Bardamu3000 good job avoiding my question. If you want to see my art please feel free to fly down to utah and visit the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. Im assuming that because you ignored my question you have no experience with professional art. Everything you have said so far makes me think you don’t know anything about art. From not understanding Rothko to not having any credentials in the art field. I suggest you reevaluate your stance
How did this man convince people that he actually painted something that a 3 year could paint. They call it abstract because they can't really paint.
Well a very empty story about an empty artist who insisted on not explaining his work and then complaining about how no one understood him. Typical of pretentious people. His collection of the large black canvases that were supposed to evoke “space” can be seen on most any night by looking up at the night sky. Much prettier and don’t cost a thing.
He did explain to some level, but he does not want to push the viewer in a particular direction when it comes to the experience of his works. Rothko was in fact the opposite of a pretentious artist, as he pulled out the Seagram murals commission for a New York restaurant because it was presented as decoration for the wealthy, in a rather pretentious restaurant.
"His collection of the large black canvases that were supposed to evoke “space” can be seen on most any night by looking up at the night sky".
You call him an 'empty artist', but may I respectfully point out that you also just compared his paintings to the work of god himself.
Millions of words by hundreds of 'experts' have been written about those dark paintings, but when you saw them you knew exactly what you were looking at. Rothko spoke personally to you--his work spoke personally to you. The man has been dead for 50 years, but people still look at his paintings & hear him. To me, that's an artist.
@@contemporaryartissue no, dumb the people down in the public fool system and the loonyversities with the Leipzig Model of Education and they become the unthinking masses, who are easily fooled into buying into any authority/ expert opinion, presented to them...paint in layers + saccadic eye movement, creates the impression of trembling through slight changes of value. If you were smart , you also stick subliminals in there.
No, he was a schlock meister. Killing himself was the ultimate self-indulgence. The emperor never had any clothes in this instance.
Cheers.
I must be stupid. All I see are crudely painted squares and rectangles. Heavy on the rabbit gum, too.
please, No AI voice over.
Noted! Today, we host our videos ourselves. Thank you for your valuable feedback!
Guess you can say he made his Mark
I just watched this again, and I am sorry, but this artistic life still appears to me to be sad, ending in suicide is not hopeful. I will never see his work in person, my traveling days are done, all I have to look at is photos and YT. I do appreciate your posting this video, thank you.
Hi Julie, thank you for tuning in once more and leaving a comment. The pleasure is all mine, more videos coming up on a bi-weekly basis, happy to see you here. Best wishes from Belgium, Julien
Hamparte.
Nice AI voice
I feel that Rothko was one of those artists that the art world pushed on us. Ya, some good early stuff. But stained color fields? .. I will never believe a mentally stable viewer broke down in tears looking at his work.
Rectangle stains? Really? Lots of words surrounding his art, but the art is......intimacy and humanity?? No wonder he did not explain them.
?
No sorry, I only got as far as that lass throwing papers in the air and bailed.
Love Rothko and I saw most of his paintings in Paris a few years ago, (quite a few years ago now,) and this doesn't really feel as if it will add much if anything to that singularly memorable afternoon.
I personally think that the Seagram murals, (for me an experiment that didn't quite work,) are massively overrated and over-hyped but other than them I'd recommend anyone who has an opportunity to do so to go and see his paintings for themselves; any of them.
Perhaps the saddest thing about Rothko's work is how insanely expensive his painting have since become as commodities and how much that has come to obscure and distract from the sheer brilliance and originality of the works themselves.
Sorry to hear the introduction didn't warm you up for the rest of the video, but everyone is free to watch, rewatch or leave at any time they desire of course. His works are brilliant without any doubt. Personally, I believe his Seagram murals aren't overrated. I've 'witnessed' them at Tate Modern in London and simply did not want to leave the room. I also saw an overview of his works from 1949 up to approximately 1959 in Den Hague and was absolutely stunned as art student. I was still very skeptical towards abstract expressionism and color field painting in particular, until I saw Rothko's works in the flesh that very day. Anyway, I wish to thank you for tuning in and reaching out in the comments. Have a great day!
@@contemporaryartissue In the end I did watch it right through, it cost me nothing so thank you for taking the time prepare and post the video although conspicuous by their absence were those utterly strange, emotionally desolate and psychologically degenerate, "moonscapes," which he painted at the very end of his life and which I still regard as being some of his most brilliant works.
@@Eris123451 The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in. Yes, well spotted. Those black and grey paintings are indeed very unique in his oeuvre. I have showcased them in another video if I recall correctly. Terrific works. Thank you for sharing your insights here
This script sounds as though it were being read by an AI ancestor.
there was a time when I liked his art but as time goes buy I dont feel the same emotions any more and I see them as more and more overrated
Maybe it is time to see his works in the flesh once more to reinvigorate those emotions. I am sure it will do the trick!
@@contemporaryartissue I dont think so. From my point of view is a way of personal development. It works in any area. When you first time drink cofee/tea/wine, any kind of such drink seem to taste good and more and more of different of them (or even you start do produce them) you taste and start to more understand, you are more demanding and not everything seems to you as amazing. Simply you expect more. I personally strongly differentiate the historical value and the artistic value concerning art. I can give one example - art work of Alfons Mucha, his work has significant historical value for Czech art but with all the sings of social realism I see it in many ways like pure shit. After some artistic way behind I simply have completely different favorite artists.
@@JaroslavaPirkova Very interesting and well explained thought process. We should expect more, and only the best will continue to stand. Thank you for sharing here
I never thought his "art" and any abstract "art are for that matter worth looking at. They are not just overrated but should not be rated at all. Appeal to snobbery is the only justification.
@@zhaoxiaoying9894 Hi Zhao, I thought the same thing when I started as an art history student. Until I saw his works in real life, and an entire new world opened up for me. They are in fact very well painted, and have a direct impact with the viewer, in a similar way as music. If you think about it, music is also 'abstract'. We don't hear words, just sounds. Abstract painting works in a similar manner. We don't see reality, just shapes and colours. The interesting thing is the latter can move is more directly than the first.

Not much here
OMG, why did he commit suicide? He was so lucky! He was such a fortunate chap. When in the history of humanity did someone so untalented who made such crappy, useless pictures have such enormous commercial success?
I've tried my best to consider Rothko's art to be a work of genius. I've tried for almost 30 years. Can't do it. It would help his credibility if there was even one example illustrating his ability to paint a subject realistically and thus prove he possessed high-level technical skills. Sadly, no such work exists.
Picasso proved his technical mastery by the time he was a teen and was painting like Rembrandt at that time. Only later did he become abstract/cubist. His stylistic transformation was done by choice, not because of limited art skills. By contrast, nothing from Rothko indicates he was able to paint realistically. It seems Rothko painted the way he did because his limited skills offered no other choice. In short, some people become abstract as a way of appearing profound. Rothko was not so profound.
I think its because you seem to think art is only impressive or meaningful if its realistic. To understand rothko’s genius you have to understand the basis of abstract art and minimalism. Rothko isn’t considered a great artist because he could paint realistically; he was considered great because his paintings evoke strong, primal, and simple emotions. Theres more to art than looking good and being easily understood.
Rothko was a self-indulgent depressive, trying to make himself feel better about his hamburger paintings...but still, there are enough people with more dollars than sense who will buy that schlock....should be pretty easy to counterfeit.
Какая хрень. И ведь есть масса идиотов, которые считают это искусством, и Ротко великим художником. А на самом деле всё просто : король-то голый!

0:21 Dreadful narration.
Why be a coward and not read these lines yourself. The info is probably great but I can’t stand the sound of AI narrating.
Fair enough! Ever since, I have been hosting the videos personally. Have a great day!
Scam.
Art discussions are total word salad lets be honest. I studied fashion and it was the same. Saying a lot of long and complex sentences while saying absolutely nothing at all.
Completely OVERrated artist and "art" (For me its just simply GRAPHIC . . . colored . . . )
Clueless scripted narrator with teenage boy voice. Cringe. Rothko is a darling of art school lecturing with metaphysical banalities. . . romanticizing his suicide, that's ignorant. Have seen his work on two continents, an enormous and highly fashionable negation which immortalized his work as he knew would happen. Influenced the next generation of painters, but has gone into eclipse.
rothco was not an artist he was a joke im an artist and u will here of me
