CA 2026 Pomegranate Large Wall Calendar Rothko

Mark Rothko, a titan among modern painters, said that his works capture the extremes of human emotion. His extraordinary achievement was communicating tragedy and elation through simple forms. Rothko’s signature motif was soft-edged rectangles set against a monochrome background. Born Marcus Rothkowitz in Dvinsk, Russia (now Daugavpils, Latvia), the artist emigrated to the United States at age 10. After a series of artistic transformations, he established himself as a leader among New York’s avantgarde in the late 1940s.
