Mark Rothko. The Miracle of Painting. Biography of a Great Artist

He refuses to frame his paintings to avoid limiting their distribution. He takes pride in having his works close to the floor, at human height, to evoke dizziness in the viewer. He prefers large formats, as they are more human. His paintings are icons before which the viewer should experience religious feelings. The true content of Mark Rothko's paintings is his own story, the story of an immigrant, a scholar, a teacher. This graphic novel moves away from the intellectual cliches that surround modern art. The difficult life of Mark Rothko and his style of abstract expressionism will be revealed to the reader in a convenient comic format. Look at the artist-philosopher differently, deeply concerned for his audience and endlessly tormented by the search for aesthetic and spiritual truth.
