Mark Rothko
This month, the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism celebrates the 117th birthday of American painter Mark Rothko. Born 25th September 1903, Rothko is one of the most celebrated painters from a group that matured in the US of the 1940s. His work became increasingly famous in the US and Europe during the 1950s, and his status was solidified by a large retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1962.
Updates to the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism - April 2020
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism is updated on a bi annual basis. The latest update adds 10 new articles across four subject areas.
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernim is teaming up with the British Association for Modernist Studies (BAMS) and The Modernist Review to develop a collection of teaching materials as part of their Community Resources Pack. Our goal is to curate and maintain a dedicated database of resources developed by scholars working across the broad field of Modernist studies.
Materials will be theme-based, and include bibliographies, reading lists, lesson plans, specific tasks, projects, feedback methods, methodical approaches, reflective pieces and more.
Check out the Teaching Resources page for more infomration, and don't forget to follow @RoutledgeLit and @modernistudies on Twitter for updates!
