Untitled is a 1961 paint by Colette Bangert, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a sea of tiny, tangled lines in bright colors—mostly greens, reds, and blues. The marks are so dense they fill the whole canvas, making it hard to tell where one ends and another begins. The edges are slightly uneven, like it was cut by hand. The lines look like they were drawn fast, almost frantic, with no clear shapes or figures. The colors pop against each other, creating a busy, energetic feel.
