Untitled (scene with nude figures) 1933 - 1934

"Untitled (scene with nude figures)" (1933-1934) by Mark Rothko depicts a group of nude figures in a dark, shadowy setting. Rothko's early work often explored themes of the human figure and the complexities of human interaction. This painting, painted in oil on canvas, demonstrates his early exploration of form and color, capturing a sense of movement and emotion. Rothko's abstract style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and simplified forms, foreshadows his later, more iconic color field paintings.
