"The journey to understand the painting is also the journey to understand Rothko, because the work is so thoroughly suffused with the man."--Christopher Rothko 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.

This is a very loose biography of the artist. I'm also assuming that the reader has a connection with a Rothko painting. Some of the topics are pretty big and it would help if the reader had prior knowledge of Rothko. Christopher Rothko doesn't take the time to translate the meanings of the paintings, as he should because it is a personal experience. Readers going into this book looking for answers will probably be disappointed. Christopher Rothko mostly writes about the paintings significance to Mark Rothko and the viewer of his paintings. The author keeps it light in the heavier parts of Rothko's work.
The book is perfect for those curious to learn more about Mark Rothko. Because it is not strictly a biography, it can bring interesting theories about the artist and the paintings to light. For those who haven't "experienced" a Rothko but want to, this book can help point you to the right path. For those who have, this book somewhat explains why you might have this experience. Christopher Rothko makes sure it all stays within the wishes of his father to make sure the experience is authentic. ( )
