In the year of 1957, there were a lot of things that was going on with artist like Mark Rothko and history. To start off, World War ll was over and everyone was trying to get in better conditions and try to get over of the people that they lost. This was one of the worst wars there was because there was a lot of people dying, but I mean I know that in every war, many soldiers die. In this time, most of the artist decide to stop doing art of their own and try to draw of what was going on with the war and how bad it was. Many people then knew how they bad were the war and they knew that their relatives could never come back. What they knew was that they were going to the war and come back as heroes and everyone would give them respect and support them. What would really happen was that they would never come back again or they would be ill for their rest of their life because of what they saw in the battlefield. This is still true now days, they try to convince teens to go to war but some of us know who dangerous it is and don’t want to risk it. Others go to war and defend and they are proud to be a soldier. There is nothing wrong with that because I support the troops but they are risking their lives. Now for Mark Rothko, he was a painter for the war that just finish which was WWll and he was doing a good job after this time. After the war was over, he started to paint his dark side of him. After all of that he became depress and had alcohol problems with this later in the 1970, he died.
