Originally published in 1998 and still in print, this quintessential volume presents an overview of Mark Rothko’s stunning corpus of paintings on canvas and panel. With all works reproduced in color, the book includes the images for which Rothko is most famous—the large, hypnotic, poignant fields of color—along with almost 400 additional paintings that are far less well known and reveal an artist who was attuned by turns to realism, expressionism, surrealism, and the avant-garde issues of his era.

Clearly, this is by no means a substitute for witnessing Rothko's large-scale paintings in the flesh. However, it is indeed a wonderful collection of his works, which allows you to make comparisons among them. I appreciate the fact that there is so little commentary.

The absence of excessive commentary gives viewers the freedom to form their own interpretations and connections. It encourages a more personal and intuitive engagement with the artworks. Without the influence of pre-determined opinions or analyses, one can simply observe the colors, shapes, and compositions, and let their own emotions and thoughts be evoked.

This collection serves as a valuable resource for both art enthusiasts and scholars. It provides a comprehensive overview of Rothko's artistic development and style. By comparing different works side by side, one can notice the细微 differences and similarities, and gain a deeper understanding of his creative process and artistic vision.
