Mark Rothko, born on September 25, 1903, was a Russian-born American painter, classified as an abstract expressionist (although he rejected that label given to him). His work is characterized by his keen attention to color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale. Rothko's earlier works were a series of colorful rectangles and abstract paintings on large canvases. During the 1940's, his work became increasingly symbolic, expressing the tragedy of the human condition through his art in an entirely different light. I was captured by Rothko's work through his use of vibrant colors and abstract designs.
