Blue, Orange, Red 1961

"Blue, Orange, Red" is a 1961 painting by Mark Rothko, a renowned American artist known for his abstract color-field paintings. The artwork consists of four rectangular blocks of color, with a dominant field of blue and bands of red and orange at the bottom. Rothko's work often evokes a sense of emotional intensity and contemplation through his use of simple forms and rich colors. This work, with its large scale, is characteristic of his later style, which emphasizes the pure, unadulterated color.
