Regarded as one of the leading American artists of the 20th century, Mark Rothko (1903-1970) began his life in art as Marcus Rothkowitz in Portland, Ore. This exhibition, featuring 45 works tracing Rothko’s artistic path from the late 1920s until shortly before his death in 1970, celebrates a native son whose lyrical paintings created a legacy for the world.
Art, music, poetry, and film come together in John Frame’s ambitious project The Tale of the Crippled Boy. The end goal of this ongoing project is a feature-length collection of animated and live film vignettes. Three Fragments of a Lost Tale presents his work on this project during the past five years, including installations of sculptures, stage sets, still photographs, music score, and animated film vignettes.
On Sunday, a sell-out crowd of more than 500 people, including some 70 members of the Rothko family, enjoyed a lecture by the artist’s son. Christopher Rothko shared insights into the artist’s work through the artist’s own words.
