Essential, The:Mark Rothko
Mark Rothko (1903-1970) is generally considered, along with Jackson Pollock, the preeminent artist of the group of painters who, during the 1940s and 50s, re-invented American art and became known as the Abstract Expressionists. Yet despite his success, people cried when they stood in front of his sublimely spiritual canvases, he suffered from intense anxiety and depression, and eventually took his own life.
