Watching the development of Rothko's figurative work in the 1930s, one can readily see that he has set a foot on each shore. The deeply sensual Family, with its sfumato-drenched atmosphere, draws strongly upon Italian Renaissance painting and, more generally, references the rich history of sacred art depicting Madonna and Child. Similarly, works such as Interior recall a strong European heritage, with a formal architectural language that depicts a scene harking back centuries. A few years later we find that same architectural language in transliteration, reimagined in the structure of the New York subway system. Or witness Portrait of Mary, an apparently traditional Renaissance portrait recast in twentieth-century garb against the drab walls of a New York city flat. Rothko is drawing upon the essential truths expressed in the familiar, not so much updating it as reiterating it in the vernacular of his times. If there is a more explicit social message here than Rothko would later allow himself, than that is perhaps one kernel more that we learn about the man, even as he is teaching himself to express only timeless truths and those that are most central.
