(Att.)Mark Rothko gouache on paper signed painting, 14 x 11 3/8 in. Excellent condition. Framed. Private collection. Cerified by Roberto J. Cayuso.Marc Rothko is best known as one of the central figures of the Abstract Expressionist movement in American art in the 1950s and '60s. Mark Rothko was born Marcus Rothkowitz in Dvinsk, Russia (now Daugavpils, Latvia), on September 25, 1903, and immigrated to the United States with his family in his youth. In the mid-20th century, he belonged to a circle of New York-based artists (also including Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock) who became known as the Abstract Expressionists. His signature works, large-scale paintings of luminous colored rectangles, used simplified means to evoke emotional responses. Rothko committed suicide on February 25, 1970.
