For many years, the city of Daugavpils and the Mark Rothko Art Centre have been magnets to acclaimed professional artists from all parts of the world as the birthplace of Mark Rothko, the world-renowned abstract expressionist. Every year, painters from near and far apply to the symposium that bears the name of Rothko in hopes of getting to know the artist on his home soil and painting in his childhood city. This year, the symposium has brought together nine painters from Latvia, the UK, the USA, the Netherlands, Canada, Poland and Germany. They all went through a rigorous selection procedure in early 2020, but it is only now that they could come to Latvia to spend a fortnight at the 17th International Painting
Symposium “Mark Rothko”.
