Untitled is a 1973 ink by Frank Stella, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a grid of bright, flat colors. Yellow, pink, blue, and red stripes form sharp angles, meeting at perfect right corners. The blocks look like they’re stacked in four big squares, but the lines twist inside each one. No shadows or depth—just bold, clean shapes. The colors don’t blend. They sit side by side, like puzzle pieces. The artist used a printing method that keeps the lines crisp and the colors bright. Check out how this was made with lithography.
