Untitled (nude) 1937 - 1938

"Untitled (nude)" is a painting created between 1937 and 1938 by Mark Rothko, a renowned American artist known for his abstract expressionist works. This piece depicts a nude female figure in a stylized manner, standing before a draped window with a chair and easel in the foreground. The figure's body is simplified and elongated, with a soft, muted color palette. This painting offers a glimpse into Rothko's early experimentation with figuration and the influence of Expressionism. The simplified forms and the subtle use of color suggest a sense of emotional intensity, reflecting Rothko's growing interest in exploring human emotions through art.
