Mark Rothko. In 1947 and 1949 Rothko educated at the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco, where Clyfford Still was a fellow teacher.
With Baziotes, David Hare, and Robert Motherwell, Rothko founded the postsecondary faculty Subjects of the Artist, New York, in 1948. The late 1940s and early 1950s saw the development of Rothko's mature style, where frontal, luminous rectangles appear to hover on the canvas surface.
