Probably written in 1940 or 1941, it contains Rothko's ideas on the modern art world, art history, myth, beauty, the challenges of being an artist in society, the true nature of \"American art,\" and much more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his introduction, illustrated with examples of Rothko's work and pages from the manuscript, the artist's son, Christopher Rothko, describes the discovery of the manuscript and the fascinating process of its initial publication. This edition includes discussion of Rothko's \"Scribble Book\" (1932), his notes on teaching art to children, which has received renewed scholarly attention in recent years and provides clues to the genesis of Rothko's thinking on pedagogy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In an afterword written for this edition, artist and author Makoto Fujimura reflects on how Rothko's writings offer a \"lifeboat\" for \"art world refugees\" and a model for upholding artistic ideals.
