125 Newbury presents Gottlieb/Rothko: The Realist Years, a confluence of more than 30 works on canvas and paper by Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb. The exhibition offers an intimate look at the artists鈥� friendship, mutual influences, and their parallel development during the 1920s and the 1930s. Their friendship began long before their pioneering roles in Abstract Expressionism, when both artists explored figuration in strikingly parallel trajectories, strongly influenced by the achievements of the School of Paris, German expressionism, and most of all their mentorship by Milton Avery. Gottlieb/Rothko: The Realist Years provides a fresh perspective on the artists鈥� transition from figuration to abstraction, and is particularly relevant at a moment when most contemporary artists seem to be anchored to figuration. The Realist Years, which could have defined careers in themselves, was a period through which these two artists matriculated in their evolution to becoming key figures of post-war American painting, renowned for their emotional use of color.
