| The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artists Series by Tate Publishing Beyond Brilliant |
| Beyond Brilliant. The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artist Series is the most succinct exploration of the soul and embodiment of a true artist. Nothing I studied getting my MFA gave me the same profundity of an artist's journey into the creation of a new visual language. The struggles, investigations, successes and failures of the thought process as well as the physical prowess it takes to bring the vision of the artist to the appreciator of the art. Bravo to Bonnie Clearwater |
| The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artists Series by Tate Publishing Color plates more exciting than the text |
| Interesting historical material in the early part of the book. Lapses unduly into artspeak when discussing the later classical Rothko paintings. |
| The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artists Series by Tate Publishing Product Description |

Written by leading experts on the artists Mark Rothko (1903–1970) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His work is intensely charged with meaning and emotion, portraying human feelings rather then color or form. In this lavishly illustrated survey, Bonnie Clearwater traces the development of Rothko’s career, from his arrival in the United States as a child through to the formation of his mature style, and examines his initial influences and interactions with other artists. Drawing on the artist’s own letters and writings, The Rothko Book provides the most comprehensive introduction yet to this complex and fascinating figure. |
