Untitled (Number 13)

Mystery Painting

recreated by our Walter Hays partners

Abstract Recreation
This painting is going up and down. There is a yellow outline around the whole painting that switches sizes but is mostly about one inch.

There is a yellow triangle that is 3/12 of the painting in the middle. The bottom 1/12 is yellow. The next 3/12 is red. There is a whitish-olive triangle covering 4/12, but a little yellow is showing on the sides. The top 1/12 is yellow. There is no outline around the red rectangle's sides.

Analysis
by Crasean and Paul

The artist of this painting is Mark Rothko and the title is "Untitled 13." It was painted with oil and acrylic with powdered pigments on canvas. The size of the painting is 95 3/8 x 81 3/8 inches. The painting is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This painting was painted in 1958.

Our partners did the red and the yellow parts well. They made the outline shape well. However, they didn't put anything in the right place.

We could have made it easier for our partners by telling them "rectangle" instead of "triangle" because we wrote that part wrong. We think we confused them. We think they did a good job, though, with the information we gave them.
