Untitled is a 1965 ink by Eduardo Paolozzi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a wild mix of bright colors and bold shapes. You see wavy lines in blues, pinks, and oranges stacked like layers, with sharp angles cutting through them. Some parts look like they’re made of stripes, while others feel more like scribbled ink. The background is a pebbled texture, almost like sandpaper. The artist cut and pasted papers to create this look—no brushes here, just scissors and glue. The colors clash and blend at the same time, making it feel both chaotic and controlled. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to build shapes.
