Resisting interpretation or classification, Mark Rothko (1903–1970) was a prominent advocate for the artist’s consummate freedom of expression. Although identified as a key protagonist of the Abstract Expressionist movement, first formed in New York City, Rothko rejected the label and insisted instead on “a consummated experience between picture and onlooker.” Following a repertoire of figurative works, Rothko developed his now iconic canvases of bold color blocks in red, yellow, ochre, maroon, black, or green. With these shimmering, pulsating color masses, Rothko stressed that he had not removed the human figure but rather put symbols or shapes in its place. These intense color forms contained all the tragedy of the human condition. At the same time, Rothko explicitly empowered the viewer in the expressive potential of his work. He believed “A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer.” From his early development through to his most famous color fields, this book introduces the intellect and influence of Rothko’s dramatic, intimate, and revolutionary work.

First time published in the UK, here is NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank's sizzling Nightwalker series!
Most would say that Jacob Corbin has it all, but everywhere he turns he is brought down by his Pastor's-Kid stereotype. He receives persecution on all fronts, from the school psycho, his paranoid principal, and his girlfriend's father who are all hell-bent on making his life miserable. All this is a mere nuisance compared to the hypocrisy of his father's church members. Their misguided acts of ridding the church of undesirable sinners is enough to drive Jacob from any desire to follow the teachings in which they base their ideals. Expressing as much in his actions and attitude, Jacob's parents immediately jump to the conclusion that he's on a swift spiral to hell. Jacob has never questioned the power of God but isn't about to play Christian simply to avoid condemnation. Let the so-called saints point their fingers, he is done. Free will or not, Jacob will soon learn in a very real way that God isn't so easily tossed aside.

The man in question appears to be the same person whose suicide Hill investigated all those years ago, and when he regains consciousness, everyone claims he is, indeed, the missing Jacob King.

And it isn't until Jacob King himself makes a startling revelation that Hill and Sommer understand how important this case is-not only to their careers, but to the future of all humanity.
