Untitled is a 1964 oil by Anwar Jalal Shemza, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bold red squares with white rectangles cutting across them. In the center, a cluster of circles—some overlapping, some stacked—creates a loose shape. The white areas have a rough, grainy texture, almost like sand mixed in. The circles look like they’re floating in the middle of the lines, breaking the sharp edges. The red background is flat and bright, making the white shapes stand out. If you like this kind of clean, geometric style, look up Anwar Jalal Shemza.
