About Rothko [Paperback]

As the Washington Post says, Dore Ashton brings the reader to the very core of Mark Rothko's art. She draws on her countless interviews with the artist--giving little credence to the false mythology surrounding his work--to take us to the heart of Rothko's painting, showing its derivation from his reading, travel, and thought.

Dore Ashton's books includeA Joseph Cornell Album, Picasso on Art, A Critical Study of Philip Guston, A Fable of Modern Art, The New York School, Noguchi East and West, andA Reading of Modern Art. She lives in New York City.
