«La réalité de l'artiste» is Mark Rothko's essay on art theory, published by Flammarion in paperback (295 pages, in French).
Written around 1940, when Rothko stopped painting to write, the essay reflects on the categories of art —the sacred, beauty, perspective, chiaroscuro—, comments on Giotto, Masaccio, Leonardo and Rembrandt, surveys the movements from the Renaissance to Surrealism, and addresses with humour the artist's condition and the art market.
Edited and introduced by Christopher Rothko. Translated into French by Pierre-Emmanuel Dauzat. Champs collection.
For readers interested in art theory and history and in Rothko's thought before his abstraction.
