This provocative compilation of both published and unpublished writings from 1934-69 reveals a number of things about Rothko: the importance of writing for an artist who many believed had renounced the written word, the meaning of transmission and transition that he experienced as an art teacher at the Brooklyn Jewish Center Academy, his deep concern for meditation and spirituality, and his private relationships with contemporary artists (including Newman, Motherwell, and Clyfford Still) as well as journalists and curators. Writings on Art fills a significant void, it includes some 90 documents--including short essays, letters, statements, and lectures--written by Rothko over the course of his career. The texts are fully annotated, and a chronology of the artist's life and work is also included.
