Untitled is a 1969 ink by Alan Cote, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a black square covered in overlapping colored bars. The bars are bright—reds, blues, pinks, greens—and they tilt in different directions, creating a busy, almost chaotic pattern. The edges of the bars feel sharp and clean, with no soft blending. The artist used a screenprint method, which explains why the colors look flat and the lines are so precise. This style was popular in the late 1960s for its bold, graphic look. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this in person.
Alan Cote (b. 1937) was an American artist, born in Connecticut.
