Biography 
25.9.1903 Born in Daugavpils (Dvinsk) (LV) American painter whose works introduced contemplative introspection into the melodramatic post-World War II Abstract Expressionist school. His use of colour as the sole means of expression led to the development of Colour Field Painting.
= Marcus Rothkovitch
