Synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes  Christopher  the younger of the artists 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 Rothkos oeuvre  including reassessments of his late dark canvases and his formidable body of works on paper. The author also discusses the artists 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 artists son  his commonalities with his father  and the terms of the relationship they forged during the writers 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45650542166069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300204728","price":247.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300204728.jpg?v=1781799224","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mark-rothko-from-the-inside-out-9780300204728","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
