Untitled is a 1961 ink by Alex Colville, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This dog stands still on a patch of grass, its black fur marked with bright orange patches on its legs and chest. It holds a small bone in its mouth, looking straight ahead with a calm, focused gaze. The background is simple—a fence line and a bit of dirt path. The dog’s fur is painted in flat, bold colors with sharp edges, giving it a graphic look. The artist used simple shapes to make the dog’s body stand out clearly. If you like this style, check out more works by Alex Colville.
