Untitled is a 1988 ink by Ellsworth Kelly, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single, bright red shape on a white background. The shape looks like a stretched diamond or a tilted oval, with soft edges that fade slightly. No lines or details break up the color—just a flat, solid block of red against the plain white. The artist used a printing method that lets the color blend smoothly. This piece is small and simple, but the way the red sits there makes you notice how color and shape can feel alive without any extra fuss. If you like this kind of clean, bold art, check out lithography to see how it works.
