Untitled is a 1967 gouache by Bridget Riley, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single, wavy shape made of red and blue lines on a grid of tiny squares. The lines curve and twist, creating a sense of movement even though nothing is actually moving. The background is plain white, letting the colors stand out. The artist used graph paper and painted with gouache, a type of water-based paint. The grid helps the lines look precise and deliberate. Try looking up gouache to see how it’s different from other paints.
