Rothko

The essays by Rothko's son add a really personal layer to the experience of these fifty large-scale plates. I’ve spent hours just getting lost in the color fields, and the print quality does them justice.

I bought this after seeing the Seagram murals in person and the plates here actually hold their own—the color fields fill the page without feeling cropped. The essays by his son add a personal layer I wasn't expecting from an art book.

The plates are huge, so the color fields really do what Rothko intended and fill your whole field of vision. The essays by his son add a personal layer I wasn't expecting from an art book.
