"A journey through the mind and life of a genius: Mark Rothko. Mark Rothko was a genius and, because of this, he was always out of place. Having emigrated to the United States with his family in 1913, he picked up English extremely quickly and even got a scholarship to Yale. He soon rejected academic teaching and decided to move to New York, where he started off to paint. After years of struggles, Rothko's artistic significance in the field of Abstract Expressionism was finally recognized in the 1960s, making him one of the most important artists of the 20th century despite his tragic and premature death. This graphic novel pays tribute to Rothko's colours and emotions, and to an artist who was not well understood during his lifetime, but celebrated after his death. It invites the reader to plunge into the immediacy of Rothko's exceptional works, which stand for a new visual language and tell an extraordinary manifest of simplicity."--From publisher.
