Portland Art Museum presents an exhibition celebrating the lyrical paintings of Mark Rothko (1903-1970). This special exhibit features 45 works from the late 1920s until shortly before Rothko's death in 1970. Regarded as one of the leading American artists of the 20th century, Mark Rothko began his life in art as Marcus Rothkowitz in Portland, Ore. Having emigrated from Russia as a 10-year-old with his mother and older sister in 1913 to join his father and brothers in Portland, Rothko attended Lincoln High School and took his first art classes at the Museum Art School before going off to Yale, New York City and beyond.
