Abstract Composition 

This abstract painting, "Abstract Composition," was created by Mark Rothko, an American painter known for his color-field paintings. Although the date of this work is unknown, it likely dates from the 1940s, a period in which Rothko was experimenting with Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The work features a dark background with biomorphic shapes in shades of green, grey, and pink. These shapes are reminiscent of organic forms, perhaps suggesting the presence of life or growth, yet they remain abstract and devoid of definitive meaning. The viewer is encouraged to interpret the composition based on their own personal experience and feelings.
