Mark Rothko paintings

Mark Rothko’s paintings are renowned for their luminous colour fields and profound emotional intensity. A key figure in Abstract Expressionism, Rothko abandoned figurative art in favour of vast, floating rectangles of layered pigment, creating immersive compositions that evoke deep contemplation. His works, such as No. 61 (Rust and Blue) (1953) and the Seagram Murals (1958–59), demonstrate his mastery of colour, light and form, using subtle tonal shifts to produce a sense of depth and transcendence. Rothko’s paintings are not merely visual experiences but invitations to introspection, exploring themes of spirituality, human emotion and the sublime.
