O díle

Mark Rothko combined watercolour with graphite and ink in Untitled, dated 1944/1946, at Washington’s National Gallery of Art. Black lines intersect across washes of red and blue. Some circular forms suggest eyes, while other overlapping marks hint at figures without resolving into a clear scene. The drawing is on paper and is not currently displayed.

Celý životopis

1942
The Rothko–Gottlieb manifesto after the Macy’s show
New paintings were shown at a 1942 exhibition at Macy’s department store; answering a negative review in The New York Times, Rothko and Gottlieb issued a manifesto written mainly by Rothko, declaring themselves for the simple expression of the complex thought, for the large shape and for flat forms that destroy illusion and reveal truth.
1943
Berkeley: friendship with Clyfford Still
Hoping a change of scenery would help, Rothko returned to Portland and then travelled to Berkeley, where he met Clyfford Still and the two became close friends; Still’s deeply abstract paintings are thought to have influenced Rothko’s later work.
13 June 1943
Separation from Edith Sachar and depression
On 13 June 1943 Rothko and Edith Sachar separated again, and the divorce (1944) left him depressed for a long time.
1944–1945
Mell Beistle: meeting and marriage
Rothko met the book illustrator Mary Alice “Mell” Beistle in 1944 and married her in early 1945.
1946
The first Rothko in a museum collection
The Whitney Museum, which included Rothko’s surrealist works in its annual exhibition from 1943 to 1950, acquired Baptismal Scene (1945) in 1946: the first of his works to enter a museum collection, a key milestone in his career.
1948
Rothko’s mother dies
Rothko’s mother, Kate, died in October 1948; the discovery of his definitive form came at a period of great distress.
