Untitled is a 1984 ink by Barry Bridgwood, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a mix of sharp white shapes and dark, smudgy areas. The white parts are clean and geometric—squares, rectangles, and some wavy lines—while the dark parts are messy, almost like ink blots. The whole thing feels uneven, like someone splattered paint and then added the white shapes on top. The artist used a screenprinting method, which explains why the white shapes look so crisp and repeated. The dark areas seem to bleed into each other, giving it a rough, almost chaotic feel.
