Like the poet and the philosopher, the artist 'deal[s] with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair'. And like that of the poet and the philosopher, it is the artist's role to encompass the world around him and reduce its most salient aspects to a core truth (a 'generalization') that applies to all. Unlike philosophers, however artists do this by speaking the language of the senses; that is, they communicate their ideas through what is essentially bodily stimulation:

[The artist] tries to give human beings direct contact with eternal verities through reduction of those verities to the realm of sensuality, which is the basic language for the human experience of all things.

Rothko's book aside, it would be tempting to look at his classic abstractions as a revolutionary departure from the art that came before: the bold washes of saturated color, the striking reduction of form, the expansive all-over painting which appears to supersede the edges of its own canvas. And yet, as he makes clear repeatedly throughout the text, there can be no such thing as a revolution in art. The 'plastic process', as he labels it—is inherently evolutionary. An artist can react against it, but there is no way to be outside it; it is the fabric with which he or she weaves.

Markus Yakovlevich Rothkowitz , “Self-Portrait” (1936),

Oil on canvas, 32 1/4 x 26 inches.

Collection of Christopher Rothko,

© 1998 Kate Rothko Prizel & Christopher Rothko – Adagp, Paris, 2023.

Markus Rothkowitz was born in 1903, in what was then the Russian Empire and what is today Latvia, but 10 years later he emigrated along with his family to the US.

They were from the educated middle class, and Markus was a brilliant youth, leaving Yale University in 1923 and joining the Art Students’ League in New York.

He was naturalized as an American citizen in 1938 and soon changed his name.

For the rest of his life he was Mark Rothko.

No mind/body duality therefore for Rothko, who goes on to say that both the subjective and the objective must appeal to our sensuality. One can see this integrated approach in a work such as Aeolian Harp, where the more specific mythic content of this neo-surrealist painting has been subsumed into the overall aesthetic experience. We absorb the philosophical message, at least initially, but means of eye and body. The senses offer a pathway for the artist that allows them to communicate essential ideas, directly and undiluted. Art that falls short of this achievement—art that deals only with particulars, or appeals exclusively to the senses, for example—is really not worthy of the title . . .

Perhaps because his paintings seem forever shrouded in a sense of mystery, of meaning always tantalizingly just out of reach, Rothko's essential character has remained elusive and at times misunderstood. Seldom one to speak about himself or even about his work, this artist, who famously 'preferred to tell little' and eschewed 'self-expression' in his work, directed us to keep our eyes focused on his canvases and not be distracted by anecdotes of the personal. He sought to take us away from the everyday and move us toward the abstract, the universal, the larger truths. This was the plane of consciousness that was so often drowned out by the social, the commercial, the particular. And yet, this is the artist who wanted his viewer 'to have the same religious experience he had when painting it' with each of his works. Could there be a more direct personal connection? Indeed, who has stood before a classic Rothko painting and not found it suffused with the emotional presence of the man who made it?

[Rage is a quiet thing

You think that you've tamed it

But it's just lying in wait

Oh, rage

Is it in my veins?

Feel it in my face when

When I least expect it]

The meat tenderiser is broken

-necked so, I must soften

the beef with my father’s

hands, marrow-thick

with knowledge

the meat must be beaten

brutal into tenderness.

That anybody softens

with violence.

Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have.

Rage & it’s violence.
