Figure Standing Near a Counter

Mark Rothko

Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image displays blurred and softened lines composing an abstract arrangement of overlapping forms and colors. The colors featured are blue, green, brown, and pink. The shapes suggest human figures possibly in a setting resembling people around a counter. Bold brush strokes give the illusion of fabric folds, bodies in motion, or layers of clothing. The abstract shapes hint at a social gathering or marketplace scene.
