Painting - Rothko - Orange and Yellow 1956 - Munn Works

Description

A fine-art giclée reproduction on canvas of "Orange and Yellow" (1956) by American Abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-70). With Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Rothko is one of the most famous postwar American artists. By the late 1940s he'd stopped making direct references to the human figure, as his purpose was to present not specific individuals but the universal human drama. Rothko created his signature effect by simplifying the forms to create paintings of soft luminous rectangles that appear to float on a stained field. As a result of the shimmering and flickering light and the pulsating colors that project and recede, Rothko s large canvases produce an impression of constant motion.
