This film traces the elusive trajectory of Mark Rothko (1903-1970), the American master of abstract expressionism who called his work "a pharmacy for the soul." Moving from Latvia to the US as a child, he left Yale to paint, later inspired by Italy to create his iconic color fields. Full of vibrant colors, drama, and emotion, this subtle portrait makes his legendary art shine forth.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Pascale Bouhénic's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. The Art of Mark Rothko is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
