Sacrifice of iphigenia 1942

"Sacrifice of Iphigenia" (1942), a powerful work by abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko, utilizes bold colors and gestural forms to evoke a sense of drama and emotional depth. This piece deviates from Rothko's later signature color field style, exhibiting an earlier exploration of abstraction with a more defined figure. The work showcases a distinct use of color, form, and texture that are hallmarks of Rothko's early artistic approach.
