The artwork, titled “No.1,” was created by the artist Mark Rothko in the year 1949. It is a notable example of the Abstract Expressionism movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork features an array of bold and luminous colors, primarily dominated by rich reds, oranges, and subtle hints of other shades. Rothko’s signature approach is evident in the use of large, undefined blocks of color that seem to float and merge seamlessly into one another. The soft, feathered edges of these blocks give the painting an almost ethereal quality. The interaction between the colors creates a dynamic sense of depth and emotional resonance, typical of Rothko’s attempts to evoke profound human emotions through abstract means.
