Mark Rothko American, born former Russian Empire, now Latvia
1958
Not on view
Desde 1950 hasta su muerte, Rothko limitó a tres o cuatro el número de bandas horizontales de color en sus cuadros. Utilizaba diversos tipos de pintura y variaba el espesor de las capas, cambiando con frecuencia la orientación de los cuadros en el estudio. De hecho, los regueros de pintura en esta obra indican que, en un momento dado, estuvo cabeza abajo. Rothko deseaba que sus luminosos cuadros sobrecogieran a los espectadores, comentando que pintaba obras de gran tamaño no para que fueran «grandiosas y pomposas» sino «muy íntimas y humanas».
