The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Mark Rothko in 1942. This piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the figurative genre. Presently, it is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, US.
The artwork features a complex and somewhat disjointed composition that displays various fragmented human limbs. Dominated by earthy tones, it presents an array of stylized and abstract shapes that are organized into sections. The painting incorporates both horizontal and vertical elements, with limbs depicted in various positions and orientations. Notably, a semi-abstract face-like form occupies the upper part of the composition. Broad, bold lines and a carefully considered interplay of shadow and light contribute to an evocative and somewhat unsettling visual experience.
