A huge show of 115 works by Mark Rothko has opened in Paris. His son says he combined a "European soul" with "the freedom of America" to become an icon of 20th-century art.
The show at the Louis Vuitton Foundation spans Rothko's entire career, from the more traditional figurative pictures to the huge rectangles of brooding colour for which he is best remembered.
