Originally from Russia, Mark Rothko emigrated to Oregon in America and later to New Yorkwhere he studied under Joseph Albers, becoming one of the worlds most renowned Abstract Expressionist painters. Instead of looking at colour and form like other painters, Rothko wished to use colour to express raw human emotion. His paintings have been described as 'ethereal' and 'magical', and his work does have a meditative quality. He often worked to a huge scale on massive canvases, in an effort to immerse the viewer in colour as you will see in our Rothko Art Prints below. He said 'I paint large pictures because I want to create a state of intimacy. A large picture is an immediate transaction; it takes you into it'. Rothko's paintings were initially full of bright pink, yellows and orange hues, but as he battled with depression, be began to use greys, browns and finally blacks, before committing suicide in 1970. Fine art prints by Rothko's fellow Abstract Expressionists, Jackson Pollock prints, De Kooning, Motherwell and Barnett Newman posters are also to be found among our Abstract art pages.
