Untitled 1944 - 1945

This untitled work from 1944-45 showcases Mark Rothko's early abstract style. Created during World War II, it reflects the artist's exploration of form and color, evoking a sense of tension and unease. Characterized by gestural lines, muted hues, and biomorphic shapes, the composition conveys a sense of depth and movement. This work, while not as iconic as his later color-field paintings, highlights the evolution of Rothko's artistic journey and his early experimentation with abstract expressionism.
