The rectangles within this painting do not extend to the edges of the canvas and appear to hover just over its surface. Heightening this sensation is the effect of chromatic afterimage. Staring at each colored segment individually affects the perception of those adjacent to it. The red-orange center of the painting tints the yellow above it with just a bit of green. The yellow above seems to tint the orange with blue. Despite these color relationships, Rothko did not want his pictures appreciated solely for their spectral qualities.

Despite the fact that Rothko is associated with the Abstract Expressionists, his paintings do not share the gestural, spontaneous character of their work. His vibrant colours, applied in successive highly-diluted layers, envelop the viewer, who is drawn into a new spatiality that resists any attempt at measurement. In the s, the bright, expansive colours of his earlier work gradually gave way to darker, more introspective hues; maroons, greys, dark greens and browns. By the early s Rothko had developed a personal abstract language which he continued to refine and simplify throughout the following twenty years. His canvases, which are generally large — as he believed they would inspire greater intimacy when viewed — are divided into several rectangular, more or less horizontal, open and vibrant fields of colour which bear no relationship to geometry and appear to float in an indeterminate space. The paint, applied in a series of thin layers, as if it were watercolour instead of oil, never reveals the brushstrokes, and texture is reduced to its minimum expression. Rothko conceived his works as dramas, as the performance of a timeless tragedy. His paintings, infused with great spiritual intensity, engage the viewer with great emotional force, inspiring contemplation and meditation. Like Kandinsky, Rothko believed that colour acted directly on the human soul and was capable of eliciting deep emotions in the viewer.

License this image. Untitled is a large painting on paper featuring two rectangles in different tones of brown. The lighter, lower rectangle shows the horizontal sweeps of a broad brush, while the upper rectangle contains vertical marks in a deeper tone, applied with a drier brush. These two fields are divided by a thin, pale, horizontal line. The shapes almost fill the frame, and are edged only by a white border of unpainted paper, which was uncovered when the tape that fixed the paper to a board during painting was lifted. This work was painted in by the abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko.

By the early s, Abstract Expressionism was no longer at the cutting edge of artistic activity. Now, younger artists, including Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein , whose works self-consciously countered Abstract Expressionism, were in the vanguard. Despite this shift, Mark Rothko continued to produce atmospheric Colour Field paintings that strove to escape the realities of the contemporary political climate and to evoke a more spiritual sense of being.

Like Kandinsky, Rothko believed that colour acted directly on the human soul and was capable of eliciting deep emotions in the viewer. His work was the result of many years of looking at other artwork, including Greek vases with horizontal bands of figures, Native American art with its spiritual qualities, and the work of the European Surrealists. Now, younger artists, including Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein , whose works self-consciously countered Abstract Expressionism, were in the vanguard.
