In this painting, Rothko explores Surrealism and the human figure in an urban setting. The painting shows stylised figures appearing in an underground station. The work evokes a feeling of alienation, with the contrast between delicate movement and the sense of stillness given by figures disconnected from one another.
The theme of the "underground fantasy" may in fact suggest a contrast between everyday reality and imagination, an inner world in conflict with its surroundings. The elongated figures and rigid forms contribute to this sense of emotional and introspective detachment. This stylistic choice reflects Rothko's experiments with Surrealism.
