Rothko – At The Portland Art Museum
February 20, 2012
“A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer.”
~ Mark Rothko, 1947
He was an American artist that was a critical part of the revolutionizing abstract art. In his lifetime (1903-1970) he created some of the most recognized abstract paintings which are scattered throughout the world’s art museums and private collections. He immigrated from Russia to Portland and graduated from Lincoln High School, class of 1921, before moving to New York city. Forty-five of Rothko’s works will be on display at the Portland Art Museum now through May 27th, 2012. Don’t miss this great opportunity to see some of his works up-close.
