	Mark Rothko - MSN Encarta
		By the early 1940s Rothko had become interested in ancient myths and symbols and was profoundly affected by the theory of the collective unconscious put forth by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
		Rothko saw his paintings as vehicles for communicating a shared repertory of images that are reflective of this collective unconscious.
		In addition, Rothko was significantly influenced by French painter Henri Matisse, whose works sacrificed line in favor of color and were in many cases limited to two or three colors.

		Mark Rothko’s signature format of simple compositions of soft-edged bands of color, which he arrived at after experimenting with realism and surrealism, has come to be regarded by many critics as a sublime abstract expression.
		Rothko's work would move onto to more bizarre landscapes and draw, according to Weiss, "primarily on the subaqueous surrealist images of Yves Tanguy…whose pictures were understood to represent inner landscapes of the mind." "Tanguy's work was accessible during 1945-46 in two exhibitions at the Pierre Matisse Gallery," Weiss noted.
		Rothko's street scenes are also characterized by claustrophobic buildings and somber, sparsely inhabited city squares….The early work of Giorgio de Chirico is generally acknowledged to have left an imprint on these images, although Rothko's idiom has little in common with the modernist's deadpan technique.

		Yet, two pages further on, Rothko is quoted as hating and distrusting "all art historians, experts and critics" and prone to revising his artistic evolution the better, presumably, to foil such worthies.
		It is clear that Rothko was aware of these formal and functional requirements of a mural; it is also clear that he was constitutionally incapable of meeting them.
		With Rothko, therefore, it hardly matters that he turned his colored rectangles on their side the better to achieve architectonic images; they do not work because he is, for all practical purposes, turning Nature and his own nature on their side.

	Mark Rothko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rothko, Gottleib and Newman read and discussed the works of Freud and Jung, in particular their respective theories concerning dreams and the archetypes of the collective unconscious, and understood mythological symbols as images that refer to themselves, operating in a space of human consciousness that transcends specific history and culture.

		Rothko and his peers, Gottleib and Newman, met and discussed art and ideas with these European pioneers (Mondrian, in particular) and began to regard themselves as heirs to the European avant-garde.
