Mark Rothko's No. 5/No. 22 is an abstract painting featuring horizontal blocks of colour. This work exemplifies Rothko's exploration of colour and emotion.
Mark Rothko, born in Latvia and later an American citizen, is a central figure in Abstract Expressionism. His work moved away from representational art, instead exploring the emotional potential of colour and form. Rothko aimed to create paintings that could evoke feelings of awe, spirituality, and even tragedy in the viewer. He achieved this through large-scale canvases featuring floating, nebulous rectangles of colour. These works are not simply abstract designs; they are intended to be immersive experiences. Rothko believed that colour could communicate directly with the viewer's emotions, bypassing the need for narrative or symbolism. No. 5/No. 22 exemplifies Rothko's signature style. The canvas is divided into horizontal sections of colour, with a large yellow area above a red band and an orange section below. The edges of these rectangles are soft and blurred, creating a sense of depth and allowing the colours to interact. Thin white lines are visible within the red band. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the subtle gradations and harmonies of colour.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Dropped out of Yale, spent a decade finding his format, returned a restaurant commission because the diners did not deserve the paintings, and filled a chapel after his death.
