a pleasant surprise

when i first received the book i thought i'd made a mistake purchasing it but soon realized i had not! it has proven to be informative and concise and contains background and technique information i haven't seen in other larger more expensive books. really, a worthwhile addition.

Excellent

This is an excellent reference for anyone wanting to learn about Mark Rothko's work and life. Good format, easy to read great pictures. Great value for the price.

Wonderful Presentation !

This concise but very informational book is a must for anyone interested in the works of Rothko, and for those who want to know about the rise of abstract expressionism. There are full color illustrations provided which add greatly to the narrative!The margin notes have a wealth of background material, without being too bogged down in minutia.This work has been a wonderful addition to my art library as I am certain it will be to others.

A terrific book

A concise, well-written introduction to postwar American art through the work of one of America's greatest painters. Highly educational and a great read. Excellent reproductions. I coulnd't put it down. Makes a great gift, too.

Informative and entertaining

A terrific book for those who are knowledgeable about the artist and those who are not. Ottmann packs a lot of history into his stimulating and extremely well-written pages. Ottmann's compelling and accessible prose makes this book hard to put down. Highly recommended.
