Markus Rothko
Markus Rothko, born in 1903 in Latvia and later immigrating to the United States, was a prominent abstract expressionist painter known for his large, color-field works that evoke deep emotional responses. Rothko believed in the power of color to create spiritual experiences, often exploring themes of existence and absence in his art. His most famous works are characterized by vast, luminous fields of color that invite contemplation, challenging viewers to engage with the silence and emptiness of the canvas. Rothko's life was marked by a search for meaning and artistic purity, culminating in the creation of the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, a space dedicated to meditation and reflection.
