FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Orange, Red, and Red is an abstract picture inspired by the painting with the same title by Mark Rothko. Rothko is today one of the most well-known artists globally, and a significant part of his oeuvre belongs to MOMA. Rothko’s trajectory is an excellent example of many other artists in the 20th-century United States: immigrants from countries in which war was raging and had the governmental support and policies to create such experimental and impressive work. Orange, Red, and Red is from the 1960s, a moment in which the painter had already established himself and was making some of his most remarkable work.
Markus Rothkowitz was born in the Russian Empire, in a region today that is known as Latvia. The Rothkowitz family was Jewish, and they were facing political turmoil in Russia. Fleeing from the war, they arrived in the US. In the new country, Rothko proved himself a highly adaptable student, making stellar grades and winning a Yale scholarship. There he became disillusioned by the academic environment and facing prejudice in such a posh place; he decided to leave the institution. Rothko moved to New York and decided to follow a career in the arts, being highly criticized by his brother, who thought he couldn’t make a steady income out of it.
In New York, Rothko had two teachers who were fundamental for his artistic formation. The first one was the Cubist painter Max Weber, which inspired the painter in his early figurative work. The other one, which became a center of experimental practice in their time, was Arshile Gorky. Just as Rothko, Gorky was an immigrant. Because of this kind of solidarity and facing nationalist-fueled speech from some sectors of the population, many other immigrant artists and painters began to find a safety network among the likes of De Kooning, Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, and Rothko. From this double interest in more creative art and finding their own place in the US, a group called The Ten emerged. The Ten pushed for more creativity and was against the conservative stance they found in many institutions. Soon enough, they not only won a municipal gallery, as they were making exhibitions and promoting the work of upcoming artists. Rothko also had the chance to make his solo shows, and through the 1930s until the 1950s, his oeuvre slowly developed into the stunning colors and impressive scale he became famous for.
Orange, Red, and Red is an oil on canvas. It has an impressive dimension of 236,5 x 203,5 cm. The scale is fundamental for a better understanding of the artist’s work since the color fields become much more potent through the considerable size and irradiation in the exhibiting space. In Orange, Red, and Red, we have yet another powerful example of his work’s simple yet stunning visual arrangement. The canvas was painted in a light brown-greyish background. Done with gestural strokes, we see two forms: a vibrant orange square and a red, burgundy rectangle on the bottom.
