内容説明
This work is Taschen's 25th anniversary - special edition! One of the most esteemed abstract expressionists and greatest painters of the 20th century - Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting. Rothko characterized this relationship as 'a consummated experience between picture and onlooker'. His colour formations indeed draw the observer into a space filled with an inner light. Rothko always resisted attempts to interpret his paintings. He was mainly concerned with the viewer's experience, the merging of work and recipient beyond verbal comprehension. Rothko was an intellectual, a thinker, a highly educated man. He loved music and literature and was very involved in philosophy, especially in the works of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and of ancient Greek philosophy and mythology. Rothko was a protagonist within the movement of American painters who became known as the Abstract Expressionists. First formed in New York City during the inter-war years, this group was also called the New York School. In all the history of art, they became the first American artists to receive international recognition as a significant movement. Many among them, including Rothko, have become legendary figures.

Huge dissapointment from Taschen Publishers.
2009/3/21
I am very accustomed to purchasing the 25th anniversary special artists book only to pre-order this as well as a couple other of there new releases to fine the page quality to be bad, most of all the size of the new editions are about half the size of the prior series. (i guess cheaping out during economical times) The prior 25th special editions are great, these new ones are a disappointment and almost a waste of paper. also funny how they are still charging the same price for much less in these new editions as the older editions. The others bought are Haring, and Freud.

I understand that other reviewers are upset because Taschen basically resized their previous paperback and published it as the 25th Anniversary edition. I actually had both books in my hands, and the previous edition matches this one word for word, even with the same page numbers. (Mark Rothko, 1903-1970: Pictures as Drama). Note they have the same author.
My review is on the content of the book, not on the lack of publisher morals. The cover is pretty firm, the paper seems of very good quality and nicely glossy (perhaps this is from a later printing run).
I actually bought this book from the Portland Art Museum during the Rothko exhibition. The pictures included are a real treat. They do some fair justice to the paintings (as much can be done with a photograph). The focus is on the later works when Rothko really embraced the abstract expressionist style (or his fuzzy rectangles as said amusingly by Rothko's character in the play 'Red'). Nicely included are several previous styles of his work. We see his progression from the early works of more impressionist and surrealist influence (Cezanne being a major influence). The subject matter tended to be based on Ancient epic and modern philosophy and psychology.
We are also shown his NYC subway years before moving on to the early abstract works and then finally his more known abstract expressionist works. The majority of the works are from three sources: private collections, including the Rothko family; the Japanese Kawamura museum; and the National Gallery in D.C. There are also works from the Rothko chapel and the Tate collection as well.
This is not the best Rothko book out there. The National Gallery actually has a $250 giant tome for those who are willing to plop down some big cheese for a 15+ pound book. There are other books in the $25 to $40 range for paperback that are pretty thorough.
Why did I rate this 5 stars? Partially to offset a couple of unjust reviews based on Taschen being unscrupulous, but not about the actual content of the book. And as a nice introductory text on Rothko, this is an AMAZING value. $11-15 for this book is a steal, especially being in hard cover. It's a perfect item for any art lover, and great as a gift. These Taschen books are wonderful for buying as a gift for the art interested people in your life, or as general inexpensive gifts.

C'mon, Taschen. When you've put an old book in a new wrapper, own it!

Unlike others, I don't quibble with Taschen's choices about paper and reproduction quality. These are inexpensive books: flat out cheap, even. One can't expect top quality while paying bottom dollar. And I didn't. Furthermore, the book is a decent introduction to Rothko's ground-breaking work. So close, Taschen, you were to getting at least a four star review on this book.
Here's my quibble. I _did_ expect that Taschen would own up that this is just a larger format of one of their cheap paperbacks. They didn't. The fact that they publish the same book, word for word, page number for PAGE NUMBER, for crying out loud, is hidden by the fact that the book covers are different. Apparently Taschen expects me to do due diligence on their publications, something I don't actually think a publisher should require.
I'm keeping the book not because, in a case like this, Amazon would make the return a hassle. In fact, the return would be easy because Amazon is very understanding about matters like these. But the price was right so the book is easy for me to write off as bad luck and then pass along to someone else -- or the library sale.
Although it's annoying that the description didn't catch Taschen's little trick, perhaps these reviews will help others make a more informed decision about whether the Taschen 25th anniversary series is worth bothering with. For me, that ship has sailed.
