| Abstract | "One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Mark Rothko (1903-1970) created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting over the course of his career. Rothko also wrote essays and critical reviews, adding his thoughtful, intelligent, and opinionated voice to the debates of the contemporary art world. Although the artist never published a book of his varied and complex views during his lifetime, Rothko's heirs indicate that he occasionally spoke of the existence of such a manuscript to friends and colleagues. Probably written around 1940-41 and stored in a warehouse since the artist's death, this revelatory book discusses Rothko's ideas on the modern art world, art history, myth, beauty, the challenges of being an artist in society, the true nature of "American art," and much more. This edition of The Artist's Reality includes an expanded introduction by Christopher Rothko, who describes the discovery of the manuscript and the complicated and fascinating process of bringing it to publication. This edition also features a new afterword by Makoto Fujimura, who reflects on how Rothko's writings offer a model for upholding artistic ideals and considers his paintings' transcendent capacity to express pure ideas"-- Provided by publisher. |
