It touches on his schooling and early work for the WPA in the 1930s; the evolution of his art from representational to purely abstract; and the dawning of his artistic philosophy, which took him farther and farther away from the material world and toward a universally emotional and expressionist modality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMark Rothko's work is among the most recognisable in modern art history. His huge colour-field works enjoy enormous popularity for their luminosity, moodiness, and immersive qualities. The book's finely detailed drawings use Rothko's signature colours and draw readers into his fascinating creative journey. While Rothko the artist was largely misunderstood during his lifetime, this unique graphic biography offers a way of making sense of his life and of decoding the visual language he invented.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47875665592578,"sku":"BK-PRE-MRSOHL-001-F","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_4693.jpg?v=1781097792","url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/products\/mark-rothko-the-story-of-his-life","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
