Dominant colour
Untitled is a 1960 ink by Antoni Tàpies, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly dark with rough, uneven shapes. You see thick black lines forming a jagged "M" in the center, and a few lighter patches—one looks like a small window or hole. The edges are uneven, almost like the paint was scraped or torn. There’s a thin blue line near the bottom, and some scribbly marks in the corners. The texture isn’t smooth—it looks raised in spots, like you could almost feel the bumps. This is because the artist used a printing method called lithography, where ink is pressed onto a surface and then transferred. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
Antoni Tàpies i Puig, 1st Marquess of Tàpies (Catalan: ; 13 December 1923 – 6 February 2012) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, and art theorist.
