Mark Rothko (1903–1970), world-renowned icon of Abstract Expressionism, is rediscovered in this wholly original examination of his art and life written by his son. Synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes, Christopher, the younger of the artist’s two children, offers a unique perspective on this modern master. Christopher Rothko draws on an intimate knowledge of the artworks to present eighteen essays that look closely at the paintings and explore the ways in which they foster a profound connection between viewer and artist through form, color, and scale. The prominent commissions for the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Seagram Building murals in New York receive extended treatment, as do many of the lesser-known and underappreciated aspects of Rothko’s oeuvre, including reassessments of his late dark canvases and his formidable body of works on paper. The author also discusses the artist’s writings of the 1930s and 1940s, the significance of music to the artist, and our enduring struggles with visual abstraction in the contemporary era. Finally, Christopher Rothko writes movingly about his role as the artist’s son, his commonalities with his father, and the terms of the relationship they forged during the writer’s childhood. Mark Rothko: From the Inside Out is a thoughtful reexamination of the legendary artist, serving as a passionate introduction for readers new to his work and offering a fresh perspective to those who know it well.

Untitled By Christian Schlect A great book on the life work of a master painter.Christopher Rothko writes in a personal voice about his famous father's techniques and vision as they evolved over a fruitful working life. Color, form, and meaning are central topics explored with deep insight and passion. Most often blood lines thin: this is not the case here with this talented author.The book is neither a biography of Mark Rothko nor is it simply restricted to his art. For example,the sorry handling by today's museums of works of art on paper is discussed.Anyone interested in modern art, and especially that of Mark Rothko, should buy and read this book.

Variations on Rothko By Janet Mark Rothko's work has always drawn me, so I was particularly pleased to see this intimate view from his son Christopher. The author offers a series of 18 essays that give readers a fascinating glimpse into Mark Rothko's methods, the role of music, his vision of abstract expressionism and color field and their role in modern art, the role of family and critics, and so much more. I was unaware that the artist wrote extensively in the 1930's and 40's, so the inclusion of the material really made the book that much more interesting. It is not a biography per se, but is an intriguing reference piece.I think this book is well written, it's not one you can read in one sitting, as it takes some time to digest. It belongs on any Rothko lover's shelf, as well as anyone with an interest in Modern Art.I was lucky enough to request and receive my copy through NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

By ed rumbaugh Another book about the painter Mark Rothko ? Why you may ask......this one is different, it's written by his son Christopher Rothko. He was only six when his father died, so what can he know about the paintings ? This book "from the inside out" is the story, his life long discovering of who Mark Rothko was. It's written in a language that is straight forward and easier to understand that the intellectual critic that's all brain and no heart. The book has plenty of substance and intelligence but it comes from the heart of a six year old looking with young eyes at his fathers giant paintings. It has story telling depth that other Rothko books do not have. The chapters on Humor, Music and Stacked are worth it just by themselves.
