En savoir plus sur le livre
A recently discovered manuscript by celebrated artist Mark Rothko presents a landmark discussion of his views on topics from the Renaissance to contemporary art, criticism, and the role of art and artists in society. Rothko (1903–1970), a pivotal figure in twentieth-century art, developed a passionate form of abstract painting and contributed essays and critiques that reflected his intelligent and opinionated voice in contemporary art debates. Although he never published a comprehensive book of his thoughts, he hinted at the existence of such a manuscript to friends. After being stored in a New York City warehouse for over thirty years, this extraordinary work, titled The Artist’s Reality, is published for the first time. Likely written around 1940–41, it explores Rothko’s insights on modern art, art history, myth, beauty, and the challenges faced by artists in society, alongside his views on “American art.” The publication includes an introduction by Christopher Rothko, the artist’s son, detailing the manuscript's discovery and the publication process, complemented by examples of Rothko's artwork and reproductions of manuscript pages. This text promises to be a classic, offering profound insight into the philosophies and work of this influential painter.
