Mark Rothko

Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

The image displays a combination of straight and curved lines forming an abstract composition. On the left, there is a large vertical rectangle with a thin vertical line inside and swirls emerging from its right boundary. To the right, a series of sweeping, wavy lines extend outwards. The abstract design merges these elements in a way that hints at movement and structure.
