Green and Maroon by Mark Rothko | The Phillips Collection (acquired 1957) Rothko Green, Mark Rothko Paintings, Rothko Paintings, Rothko Art, Franz Kline, Barnett Newman, Color Fields, Deco Retro, Mark Rothko

Green and Maroon was executed in the mid-1950s, when he painted scores of large canvases. Other works from this period all have a similar format, but vary widely in mood, depending upon their color and internal proportions. Rothko abhorred being viewed as a formalist abstract artist whose foremost intent was to arrange color fields on a flat canvas; he insisted that his art concerned the distillation of human experience, both tragic and ecstatic, to its purest form.
