The artwork titled “Cubierta,” created by Mark Rothko in 1960, is a notable piece within the Color Field Painting movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork depicts a large canvas dominated by three horizontal rectangular fields of color. The composition consists of a dark upper section, a vibrant red middle section, and a deep black lower section, all set against a rich dark indigo-blue background. Rothko’s characteristic blending and soft, undefined edges create a sense of depth and contemplative space within the piece. The juxtaposition of these bold colors emphasizes emotional intensity and invites a contemplative engagement from the viewer.
