Mark Rothko's classic book on artistic practice ideals and philosophy now with an expanded introduction and an afterword by Makoto Fujimura Stored in a New York City warehouse for many years after the artist's death this extraordinary manuscript by Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was published to great acclaim in 2004. Probably written in 1940 or 1941 it contains Rothko's ideas on the modern art world art history myth beauty the challenges of being an artist in society the true nature of "American art " and much more. In his introduction illustrated with examples of Rothko's work and pages from the manuscript the artist's son Christopher Rothko describes the discovery of the manuscript and the fascinating process of its initial publication. This edition includes discussion of Rothko's "Scribble Book" (1932) his notes on teaching art to children which has received renewed scholarly attention in recent years and provides clues to the genesis of Rothko's thinking on pedagogy. In an afterword written for this edition artist and author Makoto Fujimura reflects on how Rothko's writings offer a "lifeboat" for "art world refugees" and a model for upholding artistic ideals. He considers the transcendent capacity of Rothko's paintings to express pure ideas and the significance of the decade-long gap between The Artist's Reality and Rothko's mature paintings during which the horrors of the Holocaust and the atomic bomb were unleashed upon the world.
