Mark Rothko Untitled 1952 Purple and Orange Abstract Art Print

This print showcases the artist’s signature Color Field style, layering a vast block of muted violet over a thin, electric orange band and a weighted dark brown foundation. The feathered edges of each geometric shape create a sense of depth, suggesting that the colors are floating within the warm ochre frame of the canvas itself.

About Mark Rothko

Rothko’s soft-edged rectangles of colour were meant to create an emotional, almost meditative experience. His work suits minimal interiors where colour can do all the talking. Early abstract pioneers included Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Hilma af Klint. The original dates from 1952.
