Blue Over Red - 1953 Canvas by Mark Rothko

Immerse your space in the profound emotional depth of Mark Rothko's 'Blue Over Red', a masterwork from 1953 that exemplifies the artist's iconic Color Field painting. This fine art print captures the ethereal luminosity and transcendent quality of Rothko's most celebrated period.

In this piece, Rothko layers translucent washes of color, allowing the canvas to breathe and the hues to glow. The deep blue hovers above a fiery red, creating a visual tension that invites contemplation. As a leading figure in Abstract Expressionism, Rothko aimed to evoke raw human emotion tragedy, ecstasy, and doom through his art. 'Blue Over Red' is a prime example of his ability to transform color into a purely spiritual experience.

Our museum-quality reproduction ensures every nuance of the original is faithfully preserved. Printed on a premium cotton-polyester blend canvas (300-350gsm, 350-400 microns), stretched over ethically sourced FSC-certified wood stretcher bars (2cm thickness), this piece delivers the rich texture and depth of the original. The canvas texture enhances the image's natural look and feel, creating a truly immersive art experience.

Available in four sizes to perfectly fit your space, each print arrives ready to hang with a hanging kit included (varies by country). No minimum orders printed and shipped on demand. Elevate your home or office with this timeless abstract masterpiece.
