Pollock & Rothko

Jackson Pollock
It´s not easy for me to talk about my favorite piece of art, cause I have many favorites painters. But I can write about two painters that I really like, ther´s Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, they´re the principal painters from the absract expressionism in twenty century. Pollock was born in the USA and died in a car crash drunk, his life was really sad. Rothko born in Estonia and went to USA when he was a child with his parents and brothers, he also died in a tragical situation when he commet suicide at 61. Pollock didn´t know how to draw and one day he put the canvas on the floor (very drunk) and start to launch colors without any order or plan. Then, he become famous when an important art dealer, Peggy Guggenheim, saw his work and get impress.
Mark Rothko was an alcoholic, violent and depress artist who never trust in his work, in fact, he commet suicide afther think that he will never make some good paintings. He always paint in biggest format, and ther´s many stories that in his exhibitions people start to cry in front of his works.

Mark Rothko
I don´t really remember when I saw their paintings, maybe when I was a child... but I get impress inmediatly... you cannot see anything, ther´s only colors in a abstract, but for me it´s very emotional thing. I hope that one closer day I can see their´s pictures in front of me.
