Landscape [verso] c. 1925

This watercolor on paper, created around 1925 by Mark Rothko, is a vibrant and gestural exploration of landscape. The artwork, titled "Landscape [verso]", features loose brushstrokes and washes of color, suggestive of a natural scene, with hues of green, blue, yellow, and pink dominating the composition. The work demonstrates Rothko's early exploration of abstraction, preceding his later minimalist style. This piece reveals the artist's interest in capturing the essence of a landscape through simplified forms and bold color.
