Untitled is a 1970 ink by Arthur Secunda, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all sharp black shapes on a bright blue background. The lines look like they’re jumping around—some are wavy, some are straight, and some twist into letters or almost-words. White spaces peek through like gaps in a puzzle. The artist used a printing method where ink is pressed onto stone or metal, then transferred to paper. That’s why the colors feel so flat and clean. Check out lithography to see how this works.
Arthur Secunda (November 12, 1927, Jersey City, New Jersey – August 30, 2022) was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker.
