Mark Rothko


Rothko (1903-1970) was a painter and printmaker and is classified as an abstract expressionist. He is known for his large scale paintings which are rich in colour.
I looked at Rothko for his use of colour as it is really strong and has a high impact on the viewer. I like how there are blocks of colour and it is all quite organised and linear. There is such a range of colours as well within each block and they fade into each other.
