City Street 1933

"City Street" is a 1933 lithograph by Mark Rothko, known for his abstract expressionist paintings. This work, however, depicts a more realistic scene of an urban street, showcasing Rothko’s early artistic style before he became famous for his colorful abstract canvases. The drawing captures the structural elements of the city, particularly the arches and supports, which create a sense of depth and perspective. It's a fascinating glimpse into Rothko's earlier work and the artistic journey that led him to his iconic abstract style.
