The artwork, titled “No.11”, was created by Mark Rothko in 1963 and is categorized under the Color Field Painting movement. It represents an abstract genre in which large, flat areas of color evoke emotional and atmospheric responses.
The artwork features a harmonious blend of soft, warm hues. Dominating the composition are expansive fields of orange, separated by a thin, horizontal white line near the center. The top section transitions from a golden yellow to a slightly darker, muted tone, creating a gentle gradient effect. This seamless blend of colors exemplifies Rothko’s technique of layering thin washes of paint to build depth and luminosity. The absence of discernible shapes or figures in the artwork invites viewers to experience the emotional impact of color and form in its purest essence.
