MARK ROTHKO IN THE 1940S: THE DECISIVE DECADE October 25, 2013 - February 9, 2014 Arkansas Art Center
As an Interior Designer and a Parsons School of Design graduate, I'm drawn to modern bright art. Mark Rothko was famous for Abstract Expressionism and specifically Color Field. The artist's son was present at the exhibit and described his father's faith in the power of art to address the pressing historical problems of the 1940s.
