Mark Rothko (1903 - 1970), born in Latvia under the Russian Empire, traveled to the United States, where he developed his painting, coinciding with the great moment of abstract expressionism, within the framework of Les irascibles, one of the names given to a group of American abstract expressionist artists, among whom were Ad Reinhardt, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and himself, among others, and who caused controversy by stating in an open letter to MoMA that the official character rejected modern art. He lived modestly; It was when he died that the consideration and appreciation of his art grew exponentially.
