Taken together, these works represent
an unprecedented artistic exploration of the intersections of race, gender and class, made in direct response to the social upheavals of the 1960s.
Examining the development and
artistic exploration of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, this
unprecedented volume presents the works of American artist Mark Rothko from the 1940s, a time when his most essential development as a painter occurred, dramatically and in a very compact space of time.
