Untitled is a 1983 paint by David Wojnarowicz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This collage is a bright green background with black text and images glued on top. You see a coffee sign that says "$1.99" with words like "Savarin" and "KRAK" mixed in. There are small comic-style drawings: a man drowning, a superhero, a cartoon couple, and a frog with a speech bubble. Some images look torn or cut out, like they’re stuck together from different places. The artist used everyday stuff—like old ads and comics—to make something new. The mix of serious and silly feels urgent, like it’s commenting on life in the 1980s. Look up David Wojnarowicz next to see how his work connects to bigger ideas.
