Untitled is a 1976 acrylic by Cynthia Carlson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows eight wavy lines scattered across a light background. Four lines are drawn in red acrylic, and four are sketched in pencil. The lines twist and bend in different directions, some overlapping slightly. The red lines look like they were painted with quick, uneven strokes—almost like scribbles. The pencil lines are lighter and more precise, sitting next to the bold red marks. If you like this style, check out Cynthia Carlson.
