Multiform 1948

"Multiform" (1948) by American abstract expressionist Mark Rothko is a quintessential example of his signature style. The work features large, flat blocks of color, including yellow, brown, orange, and turquoise, with subtle gradations and hazy edges, creating a sense of depth and emotion. The abstract forms engage the viewer on an emotional level, prompting contemplation and introspection, a hallmark of Rothko's artistic approach. This piece is currently in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
