Untitled is a 1972 ink by Frank Stella, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a simple shape on a plain background. A ring of purple lines forms a thick, eight-sided circle. Inside, there’s a smaller, empty circle of the same shape. The lines are even and precise, with no shading or texture. The artist used a printing method where ink is pressed onto a flat stone. This keeps the colors flat and clean, with no brushstrokes. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
