Untitled 1961

Mark Rothko's "Untitled" from 1961 exemplifies his signature Color Field style. The painting features two horizontal bands of orange, separated by a thin dark line, and a subtle variation in color creates depth within the rectangular forms. Rothko's Color Field paintings aimed to evoke emotional responses from viewers through the power of color and shape, moving beyond traditional subject matter. This minimalist artwork invites contemplation and engagement with the viewer’s own perception of the abstract forms.
