Svijet prema Marku Rothku / The World According to Mark Rothko

Legendarni umjetnik 20. stoljeća, Mark Rothko, nastojao je prikazati ljudsku tragediju putem najapstraktnijeg mogućeg slikarstva. Njegov je cilj bio izliječiti svjetske nedaće. Služio se pritom obojenom pastom koju je sam, u tajnosti, pripravljao te njome prekrivao sve veća i veća platna, stvarajući prostore koji su mogli upiti promatrača. Tvrdeći da nije apstraktni umjetnik, već materijalist, Rothko je uvijek izmicao jednoznačnom definiranju. Ovaj dokumentarni film otkriva njegov nekonvencionalan put – jedan od najiznenađujućih u povijesti moderne umjetnosti.

A legendary 20th century artist, Mark Rothko assigned himself the task of creating a representation of the human tragedy through the most abstract painting there is. His stated goal: cure the world’s ills. His tools: a colored paste that he made himself, in secret, covering larger and larger canvases and creating spaces that could absorb the spectator. Declaring that he was not an Abstractionist, but a Materialist, Rothko has always eluded definition. This documentary reveals his unconventional path, one of the most surprising ones in modern art.
