Schemel Forum 2015 World Affairs Luncheon Series

Mark Rothko: Immigrant, Artist, Pioneer

Annie Cohen-Solal, Ph.D., Cultural historian, Writer and Professor of American Studies at the Université de Caen

Although Mark Rothko has undeniably reached the status of an iconic artist whose paintings sell for about $80 million, he remains mysterious.

Cohen-Solal approaches him through the lens of her social history research and unveils many fascinating aspects of his life and character.
Rothko fought the narrow-mindedness of many US institutions and was deeply committed to giving all publics genuine access to art.

*Free to The University of Scranton Staff, Students & Faculty.
