Untitled is a 1958 ink by Carol Summers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bold blocks of color and simple shapes. On the left, a dark silhouette of a person stands next to a tree. In the middle, a blue building with arches and steps looks like a tower. The background has big purple and red circles that feel like floating clouds. The artist used thick, flat colors and strong outlines, which makes the scene look almost like a child’s drawing—but intentional. The way the shapes stack and overlap gives it a playful, almost abstract feel. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
Carol Summers was an American printmaker and educator, known for creating works by woodcut process.
