Description
Mark Rothko Pink, purple and blue (1961)
Pink, Purple and Blue – Mark Rothko
Pink, Purple and Blue is an abstract painting by Mark Rothko: a large glowing pink field above a thin dark blue band and an orange-red lower field. We paint our hand-painted study of Pink, Purple and Blue to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 14 sizes from 50 × 40 cm to 292 × 233 cm or in a custom size. Before Pink, Purple and Blue is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Pink, Purple and Blue show?
In Pink, Purple and Blue a narrow dark blue band lies at the top, a broad, softly glowing pink-red field spreads below it, then a thin blue-violet line, and a lower orange-red field at the bottom, all framed by dark blue edges. With warm colours that melt into one another Rothko created the sense of a light coming from the painting itself, which is why Pink, Purple and Blue feels warm, intense and calm.
How is our hand-painted study of Pink, Purple and Blue made?
Our painters paint the study of Pink, Purple and Blue by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Pink, Purple and Blue has a real paint texture that a print does not have. The first photograph shows our finished study of Pink, Purple and Blue in a silver frame on the easel, the second and third photographs show it from the side among frame samples, and the fourth photograph shows the hand-applied layers of paint where the blue meets the red, up close. When Pink, Purple and Blue is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
