The artwork “Untitled,” created by Mark Rothko in 1968, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified under the abstract genre.
The artwork features an abstract composition dominated by two horizontally aligned rectangles, one atop the other. The upper rectangle is a vibrant yellow, exuding a sense of warmth and light. Beneath it lies a deeper, more intense orange-red block, which appears to float against the yellow background. The soft, diffused edges of these geometric forms and the subtle variations in color intensity create a sense of depth and ethereal luminosity. Rothko’s characteristic blending and layering of colors evoke powerful emotional responses, emphasizing the meditative and transcendent qualities inherent in his works.
