Untitled is a 1967 ink by Ad Reinhardt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting features a white background with a vertical strip of paper in the center, containing a list of phrases in black text. The phrases are arranged in a column, with each line starting with "NO" followed by a word or phrase. The list includes phrases such as "NO WAR," "NO IMPERIALISM," and "NO RACISM." Below the list, there is a mock envelope with a red and blue border, featuring a stamp and an address. The envelope appears to be a collage element added to the screenprint. The use of a mock envelope adds a sense of playfulness and irony to the piece, highlighting the contrast between the serious themes of the list and the mundane nature of mail. The overall effect is one of subtle yet powerful commentary on the state of the world. To explore more works by the artist behind this piece, consider looking up Ad Reinhardt.
Adolph Friedrich Reinhardt (December 24, 1913 – August 30, 1967) was an American abstract painter and art theorist active in New York City for more than three decades.
