About No. 3

The artwork known as “No. 3” was created by the esteemed artist Mark Rothko in the year 1967. It belongs to the Color Field Painting art movement and is classified under the abstract genre.

The artwork features two large, horizontally aligned rectangular forms in contrasting hues. The upper rectangle exhibits a warm, reddish-orange tone, while the lower one is a deep, profound magenta. The boundaries of these shapes are somewhat indistinct, bordered by blurred, soft edges that evoke a sense of calm and introspection.
