About Untitled

The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created in 1942 by the artist Mark Rothko and is associated with the Surrealism movement. It is a figurative piece and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, United States.

The artwork features a collection of abstract forms and figures arranged within a predominantly warm, brownish-orange composition. Among the distinguishable elements are various representations of human body parts such as arms, legs, and hands, depicted in both linear and painterly styles. These fragmented forms are situated within boxed compartments and layered sections, creating a collage-like effect. The piece exhibits a surreal and dreamlike quality, characteristic of the Surrealism movement, challenging viewers to interpret the disjointed assembly of anatomical forms and the interplay of colors and textures.
