Nel frattempo, nella vita di Mark Rothko
Tutta la vita1929–1952
Teaching children at the Brooklyn Jewish Center
From 1929 Rothko taught drawing, painting and clay sculpture part-time to schoolchildren at the Center Academy of the Brooklyn Jewish Center, where he remained until 1952.
late 1935
Joins “The Ten”
In late 1935 Rothko joined Ilya Bolotowsky, Ben-Zion, Adolph Gottlieb, Louis Harris, Ralph Rosenborg, Louis Schanker and Joseph Solman to form “The Ten”, whose stated aim was to protest against the supposed equivalence of American painting and literal painting.
1936
An unfinished book on children’s art
In 1936 Rothko began a book, never completed, on the similarities between children’s art and the work of modern painters; in the manuscript he noted that starting with drawing is an academic notion and that “we may start with color”.
1936
A group show at the Galerie Bonaparte
In 1936 Rothko’s group exhibited at the Galerie Bonaparte in France and drew favourable notice; one reviewer remarked that his paintings “display authentic coloristic values”.
mid-1937
A rift with Edith
In mid-1937 Rothko separated temporarily from his wife Edith; they reconciled several months later, but the relationship stayed tense and they would divorce in 1944.
21 February 1938
Becomes a US citizen
On 21 February 1938 Rothko received American citizenship, relieved: he had feared that the growing influence of the Nazis in Europe might lead to the sudden deportation of Jews without citizenship.
