Untitled is a 1960 ink by Alexander Calder, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows big, bold shapes floating on a light background. There’s a bright yellow circle on the left, a blue ring with a red circle inside it, and a few smaller black, red, and orange dots scattered around. The lines are clean, and the colors pop against the plain white space. The artist used simple forms—just circles, rings, and dots—to create something that feels balanced but also a little playful. The painting is made using a printing method called lithography, which lets artists transfer images onto paper smoothly. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
