Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Tate Publishing is proud to announce a new series on important international artists, beautifully designed and with superbly printed reproductions. The Essential Artists series provides, in each volume, everything necessary for the enjoyment and understanding of the world’s greatest artists:


• Introduction to the artists’ lives and works
• Information on materials and working methods
• Writings by the artists and by contemporary and current critics
• Where to see the art
• More than 100 expertly printed color reproductions

Written by leading experts on the artists Mark Rothko (1903–1970) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His work is intensely charged with meaning and emotion, portraying human feelings rather then color or form. In this lavishly illustrated survey, Bonnie Clearwater traces the development of Rothko’s career, from his arrival in the United States as a child through to the formation of his mature style, and examines his initial influences and interactions with other artists. Drawing on the artist’s own letters and writings, The Rothko Book provides the most comprehensive introduction yet to this complex and fascinating figure.

About the Author
Bonnie Clearwater is the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami and is the author of many books including Mark Rothko: Works on Paper and Edward Ruscha.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Brilliant, January 8, 2008
By Diana Jaffe (Boca Raton, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Beyond Brilliant. The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artist Series is the most succinct exploration of the soul and embodiment of a true artist. Nothing I studied getting my MFA gave me the same profundity of an artist's journey into the creation of a new visual language. The struggles, investigations, successes and failures of the thought process as well as the physical prowess it takes to bring the vision of the artist to the appreciator of the art. Bravo to Bonnie Clearwater

4.0 out of 5 stars Color plates more exciting than the text, August 8, 2007
Interesting historical material in the early part of the book. Lapses unduly into artspeak when discussing the later classical Rothko paintings.
