A rare figurative work by Mark Rothko, 'Underground Fantasy' captures the mood of 1940s New York with elongated figures in a muted palette. A striking piece of modernist history for the contemporary home.

Mark Rothko's 'Underground Fantasy', painted circa 1940, offers a glimpse into the artist's early figurative period, predating his signature colour field paintings. This work depicts a scene within a New York City subway station, populated by elongated, somewhat spectral figures. The palette is muted, dominated by creams, browns, and greys, lending the scene a dreamlike, almost ghostly quality. The figures, rendered with a deliberate lack of detail, evoke a sense of anonymity and alienation, reflecting the anxieties of urban life during the mid-20th century. The composition is both simple and striking, drawing the viewer into the scene's quiet, contemplative atmosphere. As a fine art print, 'Underground Fantasy' brings a touch of modernist history and intellectual depth to any space. Its understated colours and evocative subject matter make it a versatile addition to a variety of interior styles, from minimalist to eclectic. It serves as a reminder of Rothko's artistic journey and his enduring ability to capture the human condition through abstract and figurative forms alike.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
