Untitled is a 1968 ink by Allan D'Arcangelo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bright, flat colors stacked in blocks. Yellow, red, and gray rectangles make up a towering shape that leans sideways. Above it, a pale blue sky holds a single white cloud. Two tiny trees sit at the bottom right, like afterthoughts. The bold colors and sharp edges feel almost like a child’s building blocks—just simplified and exaggerated. The artist used a screenprinting method, which explains the clean, repeated lines. Next, look up Allan D'Arcangelo.
