"Untitled (Black On Gray)" is one of the most famous paintings by Mark Rothko. With paintings such as the current one, he would explore the expressive potential of stacked rectangular fields of colors. The desolation of canvases such as Untitled (Black on Grey), drained of color and choked by a white border - rather than suggesting the free-floating forms or veiled layers of his earlier work - indicate that, as Rothko asserted, his paintings are about death. Rothko used abstract means to express universal human emotions, earnestly striving to create an art of awe-inspiring intensity for a secular world. |

A prominent figure among the New York School painters, Mark Rothko moved through many artistic styles until reaching his signature 1950s motif of soft, rectangular forms floating on a stained field of color. Although Rothko himself refused to adhere to any art movement, he is generally identified as an abstract expressionist. Heavily influenced by mythology and philosophy, he was insistent that his art was filled with content and brimming with ideas.
