Untitled is a 1964 ink by Allen Jones, depicting hat, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see two blocky, cartoon-like figures standing close—one red, one blue—on a plain white background. Their shapes are simple, almost like paper cutouts, with no faces or details. Jones made this in 1964, when pop art was taking off. The flat colors and bold outlines feel like a comic strip or a store sign, not a traditional painting. It’s part of a series about relationships, though the figures don’t show emotion. If you like this, look up *lithography*—the printmaking method Jones used to get those sharp, even colors.
