Question:

Mark Rothko?

First of all, does anyone know who Mark Rothko is and what do you think of him if you do know who he is?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I grew up looking at his work at the East Wing of National Gallery of Art in DC. He is a very interesting abstract expressionist painter. Interesting in that he showed a new movement in materials more than work that I enjoy. During the mid-twentieth century, he was one of the first "Color School" artists- artists whose works showed expression in color rather than shape. This and his use of materials are reasons to have interest in his work.
