Untitled is a 1969 ink by Barbara Jones-Hogu, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a crowd of raised fists in bright colors—red, blue, and gold—set against a dark background. The fists are all different sizes, some filled in solid, others outlined. In the middle, faces peek out from behind the fists, some with serious expressions, one with a peace symbol on its chest. The word "UNITE" is broken up and layered over the fists, mixing into the design. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to make a strong statement.
