Mark Rothko's No. 2 (No. 7 and No. 2) exemplifies his mastery of Color field painting, a form of Abstract art characterized by large, luminous blocks of color. Created with a Mixed technique on canvas, Rothko's work features irregular, rectangular regions that evoke a meditative, spiritual experience. Though he did not adhere strictly to any one school, his focus on color and form aligns him with the Abstract Expressionism movement. The layered application of paint invites viewers to immerse in his contemplative, luminous landscape of hues.
