Mark Rothko was one of the most important artists of Abstract Expressionism, known for his paintings characterized by large fields of intense and luminous color. Born in Latvia and active in the United States, Rothko revolutionized contemporary painting by creating works capable of evoking deep emotions through the relationship between light, space, and color. His canvases, now exhibited in major international museums, represent a fundamental reference point in modern art.
