Mark Rothko 馬克 · 羅斯科 | No. 10 10號
1949
Mark Rothko's No. 10 is a quintessential example of his Color Field painting practice, featuring expansive fields of soft, luminous hues that seem to float and vibrate against one another on the canvas. Created in oil on canvas during his mature period, the work exemplifies Rothko's philosophical approach to abstraction, where he sought to evoke profound emotional and spiritual responses through the subtle interactions of color rather than representational imagery. The painting's emphasis on scale, chromatic harmony, and the viewer's intimate engagement with pure color established Rothko as a central figure in Abstract Expressionism and continues to demonstrate his belief in the transcendent power of painting.
