Mark Rothko was an American artist who is famous for his large-scale abstract paintings that often consist of rectangular fields of colour. "Magenta Black Green on Orange" is one such painting, created by Rothko in 1957.

The painting is composed of four rectangular fields of colour, with the top two-thirds of the canvas filled with a bright orange hue and the bottom third featuring a deep magenta colour. The magenta rectangle is then bisected by a thin black stripe that runs horizontally across the canvas, creating two equally sized sections of magenta. Finally, a narrow strip of green runs along the top edge of the black stripe, adding a subtle touch of contrast to the overall composition.

Rothko's paintings are known for their large scale, subtle color shifts, and atmospheric quality. "Magenta Black Green on Orange" is no exception, with the carefully chosen color palette and composition working together to create a sense of depth and movement within the canvas. The painting is both bold and contemplative, drawing the viewer in with its seemingly simple composition and then inviting them to explore the subtle nuances of color and form that make it so compelling.
