The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Mark Rothko in 1949. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism art movement and falls within the abstract genre.
In this piece, Rothko employs broad, expressive brushstrokes to layer vivid hues of red, blue, and hints of white. The artwork presents a rectangular format, featuring a prominent area of intense blue at the lower portion, contrasted by swathes of red that dominate the upper section. The colors blend and intermingle, creating a dynamic tension and a sense of depth and movement. The composition is marked by a soft, almost ethereal quality, typical of Rothko’s style, evoking an introspective and contemplative experience for the viewer. The form is abstract, with no discernible figures, focusing instead on the emotional resonance of color and form.
