Painting of Black on Maroon, 1958-1959 by Mark Rothko - Reproduction
Black on Maroon, 1958-1959 stands as one of the most profound and emotionally intense works from Mark Rothko's celebrated Seagram Murals series. This commanding painting features a stark black rectangle dominating a deep maroon field, creating a powerful dialogue between darkness and warmth, void and presence. The composition embodies Rothko's increasingly somber vision during this period, where he moved away from brighter palettes toward more introspective and weighty emotional territories. Despite its apparent simplicity, the painting reveals extraordinary complexity upon closer examination—the maroon ground glows with hidden warmth beneath the imposing black form, while subtle variations in tone and texture create depth that draws viewers into prolonged contemplation. The architectural scale and dramatic color relationship were designed to envelop viewers in an immersive emotional environment. Our hand-painted oil reproduction honors this masterpiece through meticulous layering and authentic materials, capturing the textured surface and luminous depth that give the original its haunting presence and meditative power.
