Black on Grey, Mark Rothko, 1970
This painting is an acrylic on canvas featuring a black rectangle and a grey rectangle, which is a reminder of the title. Rohko wanted to represent death on his piece of art. The stacked rectangles may be read vertically as an abstracted Virgin bisected by horizontal divisions that indicate the supine Christ.
