Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image displays bold, dynamic shapes and lines that create an abstract composition with an interplay of colors. A central figure is depicted on a light-colored surface resembling a table, with their body angled to the right. The figure is surrounded by dark strokes hinting at clothing, while the lighter hues suggest a tablecloth with scribbled white lines. The posture of the figure suggests a seated position.
