Untitled is a 1952 paint by Alejandro Otero, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a grid of white and gray rectangles on a black background. The shapes are stacked in rows, some slightly offset, creating a sense of rhythm. The colors are flat and clean, with no shading or texture. The artist cut and pasted colored paper onto another sheet, layering the shapes carefully. This method makes the work feel precise and almost mechanical. Next, check out Alejandro Otero.
Alejandro Otero (El Manteco, Bolívar, March 7, 1921 — Caracas, August 13, 1990) was a Venezuelan painter of Geometric abstraction, a sculptor, a writer and a cultural promoter. He was a founding member of the Los Disidentes group.
