Painting of The Day 5/4/2011

                                                                Mark Rothko, Untitled,1948


This Piece exhibits Rothko's interest in the simpleness of pantings in order to express a complex thought. The painting also illustrates Rothko's tendency for the big shapes and large canvases to show what is obvious. The Flat forms that are created take away from any illusion and show what is actually there.
