Untitled is a 1961 pastel by Esteban Vicente, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like torn pieces of paper glued together. The colors are bold—black, blue, red, and a little beige—stacked in uneven shapes. Some edges are rough, others smooth, and the whole thing feels a little messy but intentional. The artist used real paper cutouts, not just paint. The red and blue patches pop against the black, almost like a puzzle that doesn’t quite fit. If you like this, check out Esteban Vicente.
Esteban Vicente Pérez was a Spanish American painter born in Turégano, Spain. He was one of the first generation of New York School abstract expressionists. He identified as an antifascist.
