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.

About Red And Orange On Salmon
Mark Rothko’s previous quote, which predates his foray and devotion to the groundbreaking multi-form paintings by roughly three years, anticipates his future style with a concise and enlightening foreshadow. With the inception of its form in 1946, 1969’s Untitled (Red and Orange on Salmon) is a testament to Rothko’s destined embrace of his chosen technique. It is a piece that displays a vibrant ingenuity even though, upon its completion, Rothko had employed the form for nearly a quarter-century. A dazzling warmth emanates forth from Untitled (Red and Orange on Salmon). The piece initially confronts the viewer as a discussion of closely-related colors. The soft salmon background gives way to the dominance of a powerful red above the reticent and physically smaller orange beneath. Yet the borders of these blocks of color, tethered and fluttering toward each other in a friendly, almost compassionate gesture, give all three hues the notion of not only coexistence, but of co-dependence. Textually, this co-dependence echoes in the relationship between the salmon as a base and the colors layered above it: though the salmon is thinly applied, humble in its three- dimensionality, it is the shoulders on which stand the slight and delicate oil textures of the red and orange.
