1965
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1965 ink by Esteban Vicente, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly black, brown, and red shapes on a light background. The colors are flat and bold—no shading or details. A few thin black lines sit at the top, like scratches. The red patches look like they were slapped on randomly. The artist used a printing method that lets paint sit thickly on the surface. It’s not trying to show anything real—just colors and forms. Try searching lithography to see how this process works.
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.
