"No. 16 (Red, White, and Brown)" is a 1957 painting by American abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. It is part of Rothko's signature "multiform" style, characterized by simple rectangular blocks of color. The artwork uses a limited palette of red, white, and brown, emphasizing the emotional impact of color. Currently housed in the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland, it's a prime example of Rothko's work from the mid-1950s, exploring the impact of color and scale in the viewer's experience.
