Rothko Light Red Over Black  1957.  From the Tate Museum website.  Not currently on display.“In his mature work, Rothko abandoned specific reference to nature in order to paint images with universal associations. By the late 1940s, he had developed a style in which hazy, pulsating rectangles float within a vertical format. He explained that these shapes ‘have no direct association with any particular visible experience, but in them one recognises the principle and passion of organisms’.”  -From the display caption at the Tate Musuem August 2004
