Untitled (Purple, White, and Red) 1953

"Untitled (Purple, White, and Red)" is a 1953 painting by American artist Mark Rothko, known for his contributions to Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. The artwork, currently displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a simple composition of three horizontal bands of color, a signature style of Rothko’s. The muted purple at the top, followed by a soft white and a vibrant red at the bottom, creates a sense of depth and emotional intensity.
