Untitled is a 1979 ink by Félix Rozen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like two tall, narrow panels stacked side by side. The colors are mostly red, orange, and black, arranged in messy, overlapping layers. There are bits of other colors—yellow, green, white—scattered in like they were tossed in randomly. The edges are dark, almost like a frame, while the middle bursts with chaotic stripes and shapes. The artist used a printing method that lets colors bleed together unevenly, giving it a rough, textured look. It’s not smooth or polished—it feels more like a collage of scraps glued together. Check out how this was made using lithography.
