## Description

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.
