 - Great book for moder art students and personal enjoymentIt was nice to see the transition that Rothko made throughout the years from complex modern art (ala Picasso and Dali) to more simplistic yet rich in colors. Rating:  - Mark Rothko by Jeffrey WeissAs an artist, I am known for my color, and this book is bursting with color. I was able to view three of his pieces at the Chicago Art Institute. One of the paintings at the Institute was a transitional piece that I had just been studying, so to my surprise I was delighted. When I receive a book I rarely know if it will have color plates. This book and all of the research is the best I have found on Rothko. After twenty years of reprentational art, it will be a focus of the colors of Rothko that I may be using in my workings back to abstract. This is a large book, it is a heavy paperback and has many, many pages to puruse. I have enjoyed it abundantly. Also the history is useful in the tranistion of his work. A+ joe Coon A.K.A. artist joemonroe Rating: - beautiful book of color reproductionsrothko was prolific, and it would be hard to get everything in one book, but here you will certainly find pieces from beginning to end. i personally appreciate seeing the progression of an artist's work; it's so much more informative than a random assemblage of pieces that "look pretty," although this book is that too. my copy appears quite true in its reproduction of the paintings, and i highly recommend it for the range and quality of the work. Rating:  - as if Rothko becomes color blindthe layout of this book is fine, but the printing is poor, the color is just not there...Rothko's work always evoke something in me when i look at it, but the coloring is so bad that it was just like looking at black and white rectangles in this book. Very disappointed. (refer to paper back edition) Rating: - One of the Greatest Artists that Ever LivedThis book is just mesmerizing - it is so beautiful. Mark Rothko took art to a spiritual level that has seldom been achieved. The beauty of his colors and the simplicity of his work mesh to dominate the field of art, and make him a true master of our times. This particular book is full of color pictures of his work. Highly recommended for any art lover.
