Untitled [recto] 

This untitled work by Mark Rothko, created sometime before his death in 1970, exemplifies the artist’s early abstract style. It shows a departure from his later color-field paintings, featuring a more biomorphic and gestural approach with swirling lines and forms painted in a muted palette of browns, grays, and blues. The work's raw and spontaneous nature reflects Rothko's interest in exploring the subconscious, and the use of overlapping shapes and forms suggests a sense of depth and movement, creating a dynamic and evocative composition.
