United (Blue, Yellow, Green on Red) 1954

"United (Blue, Yellow, Green on Red)" is a 1954 painting by Mark Rothko, an American abstract expressionist painter. It is part of Rothko's signature style, known for its simplicity and focus on color. The painting consists of four horizontal bands of color, from top to bottom: a narrow red, a wider blue, a large expanse of yellow, and a thinner green band at the base, all on a red background. This composition is an example of the "color-field" painting technique, which emphasizes the viewer's experience of color and form. The painting currently resides in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, NY.
