No.1 (Untitled) 1948

"No. 1 (Untitled)" is an abstract painting created in 1948 by American artist Mark Rothko (1903-1970). It is known for its distinctive color field technique, featuring large blocks of color and hazy, ethereal shapes. The painting primarily utilizes earthy tones, including brown, green, and yellow, layered over a lighter background, suggesting a sense of depth and a contemplative atmosphere. Although minimalist in form, Rothko's paintings evoke powerful emotional responses, and "No. 1 (Untitled)" is no exception, inviting viewers to contemplate the vastness of the human experience.
