Connexions : Rothko-Monet

Mark Rothko (1903-1970), an American painter attached to the movement of abstract expressionism, is one of the most influential artistic figures of the twentieth century. He invented a new way of painting: radical, free of all figuration, which revolutionized the way we look at things, particularly through his use of color. Claude Monet (1840-1926), known as the father of Impressionism, left to posterity a series of masterpieces known as the Nymphéas, opening new horizons at the beginning of abstraction. The comparison of the large panel of the Nymphéas : Le Matin aux Saules by Claude Monet and painting no. 27 painted in 1954 by Mark Rothko, allows us to understand the fascination exercised by the master of Giverny on Mark Rothko.
