Mark Rothko played a pivotal role in shaping postwar abstract painting in the United States. He is renowned for his luminous works from the 1950s and ’60s, characterized by soft-edged rectangular shapes and sweeping, translucent layers of colour. Rothko worked on both paper and canvas, often creating large-scale pieces intended to engage viewers physically. His paintings invite deep reflection and spiritual connection. The National Gallery of Art holds the largest public collection of Rothko’s works, including over 1,100 pieces on paper, canvas, and panel, showcasing his lasting influence on modern art.
