Books by Dore Ashton

The essential book on Mark Rothko for the modern art lover's library.

An anthology of Pablo Picasso's statements about art

As the Washington Post says, "Dore Ashton brings the reader to the very core of Mark Rothko's art." She draws on her countless interviews with the artist- giving little credence to the false mythology surrounding his work- to take us to the heart of Rothko's painting, showing its derivation from his reading, travel, and thought.
