Mark Rothko, a towering figure in the realm of abstract expressionism, was born Marcus Rothkowitz on September 25, 1903, in the city of Dvinsk, within the Russian Empire. Today, this city is known as Daugavpils and resides within the borders of Latvia. This unassuming birthplace would play a formative role in shaping the artist who would later become renowned for his monumental canvases of color fields.
Dvinsk, during Rothko's early years, was a bustling provincial town with a rich Jewish heritage. It was a place where traditions intertwined with the burgeoning influence of modernity. Rothko's family, like many others in the community, was deeply rooted in Jewish culture. His father, Jacob Rothkowitz, was a pharmacist, and his mother, Anna Goldin Rothkowitz, came from a family of intellectuals. This environment exposed young Marcus to a world of ideas, literature, and philosophical thought, which would later nourish his artistic sensibilities.
The tumultuous political climate of early 20th-century Russia also cast its shadow over Dvinsk.
