内容提要：

本书通过漫画的形式展示了美国抽象主义艺术家马克·罗斯科（1903-1970年）的生活、工作、奋斗和人生哲学。

马克·罗斯科的作品在现代艺术史上占有重要的地位。他巨大的色彩场域作品因其明亮的用色、情绪化的表达和沉浸式的体验而广受欢迎。他并非始终采用粗笔和简单的色块作画。

这本生动的传记追溯了罗斯科的一生，自少年时代从俄罗斯移民到美国，到1970年自杀。书中涉及到他在20世纪30年代的学校教育和早期为WPA工作的经历；他的艺术从具象到纯粹抽象的演变；他的艺术哲学的觉醒，使他越来越远离物质世界，走向情绪化的表现主义形式。

书中的插图以罗斯科标志性色彩绘制而成，吸引读者进入他迷人的创作之旅。虽然罗斯科生前常常被误解，但这本独特的图像传记提供了一种理解他的生活和解读他创造的视觉语言的方法。

This unique portrait of Mark Rothko captures his astonishing use of color as it illustrates the story of his life, career, struggles, and philosophy.

Mark Rothko’s work is among the most recognizable in modern art history. His huge color-field works enjoy enormous popularity for their luminosity, moodiness, and immersive qualities. But he didn’t always paint in bold, simple swaths of color. This graphic biography traces Rothko’s entire life, from his boyhood emigration from Russia to America, to his suicide in 1970. It touches on his schooling and early work for the WPA in the 1930s; the evolution of his art from representational to purely abstract; and the dawning of his artistic philosophy, which took him farther and farther away from the material world and toward a universally emotional and expressionist modality. The book’s finely detailed drawings are in Rothko’s signature colors and draw readers into his fascinating creative journey. While Rothko the artist was largely misunderstood during his lifetime, this unique graphic biography offers a way of making sense of his life and of decoding the visual language he invented.
