Untitled is a 1974 graphite by Antonio Caro, depicting Colombia, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This collage piles bright Marlboro cigarette ads and hand-drawn text on a small sheet. The logo’s red and white pops against scribbled blue circles and scribbled-out letters, making ads look cheap and disposable. It’s like the artist cut up a magazine and made it shout. Caro used pasted paper and colored pencil to turn ads into art. He did this in 1974, when ads were just starting to take over daily life. Look up Antonio Caro next.
Antonio José Caro Lopera (10 December 1950 – 29 March 2021) was a Colombian conceptual artist who created works since the late 1960s.
