Answer : MARK ROTHKO
Mark Rothko, original name Marcus Rothkovitch, (born Sept. 25, 1903, Dvinsk, Russia—died Feb. 25, 1970, New York City, N.Y., U.S.), was an American painter whose works introduced contemplative introspection into the melodramatic post-World War II Abstract Expressionist school; his use of color as the sole means of expression led to the development of Color Field Painting.
In 1913 Rothko’s family emigrated from Russia to the U.S., where they settled in Portland, Oregon. During his youth he was preoccupied with politics and social issues. He entered Yale University in 1921, intending to become a labour leader, but dropped out after two years and wandered about the U.S. In 1925 he settled in New York City and took up painting. Although he studied briefly under the painter Max Weber, he was essentially self-taught.
Rothko first worked in a realistic style that culminated in his Subway series of the late 1930s, showing the loneliness of persons in drab urban environments. This gave way in the early 1940s to the semi-abstract biomorphic forms of Baptismal Scene (1945). By 1948, however, he had arrived at a highly personal form of Abstract Expressionism. Unlike many of his fellow Abstract Expressionists, Rothko never relied on such dramatic techniques as violent brushstrokes or the dripping and splattering of paint. Instead, his paintings achieved their effects by juxtaposing large areas of melting colors that seemingly float parallel to the picture plane in an indeterminate, atmospheric space.
Rothko spent the rest of his life refining this basic style through continuous simplification. He restricted his designs to two or three “soft-edged” rectangles that nearly filled the wall-sized vertical formats. Despite their large size, however, his paintings derived a remarkable sense of intimacy from the play of nuances within local color.
