Untitled is a 1957 oil by Elsa Gramcko, a abstract expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all sharp angles and bold colors. A dark oval shape leans against a black background, while a white rectangle cuts across it. To the right, a red stripe and a green curve add a pop of color. Thin black-and-white stripes run vertically on the left, like a ladder or a window blind. The artist used flat colors and clean lines to create a sense of balance. The shapes don’t look real—they’re more like blocks or abstract forms. If you like this style, look up Elsa Gramcko for more of her work.
