Mark Rothko is known for his colorful abstract paintings of stacked rectangles with billowy borders and layered textures. His art has been auctioned for up to $186 million, but he once turned down a commission at a fancy restaurant because he felt his work wouldn\u2019t be appreciated by the wealthy patrons there. He was raised in Portland and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1921. His first-ever solo exhibition was at the Portland Art Museum, which is opening its Rothko Pavilion on November 20th. <\/p>\n

OPB Oregon Art Beat Producer Eric Slade made a documentary <\/a>about Rothko, and he joins us to explore what makes his work so special.<\/p>\n
