Drawing on Mark Rothko's personal papers and hundreds of interviews with artists, patrons, and dealers, James Breslin tells the story of a life in art - the personal costs and professional triumphs, the convergence of genius and ego, culture and commerce, that defined the New York art scene of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s - the world of Abstract Expressionism, of Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, Klein. Born in 1903, Marcus Rothkowitz fled the poverty and anti-Semitism of his native Russia at the age of ten, settling in Portland, Oregon. His father died soon after. After a brief stint at Yale, Rothko moved to New York City and began to study painting. Enduring the poverty, and obscurity of countless struggling artists of the time, Rothko soon added his enormous talents to a movement, a revolution, that would redefine the very meaning of art.
