1988
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1988 ink by Gary Stephan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark oval shape floating in front of a soft, hazy landscape. The background has muted yellows and blues, like a sunlit sky over rolling hills and water. The black oval stands out sharply against the faded colors. The artist used a printmaking method called aquatint, which creates smooth tones. The oval looks like it’s blocking something, but we can’t see what’s behind it. Check out aquatint to see how artists use acid and resin to make prints like this.
Gary Stephan (born 1942) is an American abstract painter born in Brooklyn who has exhibited his work throughout the United States and Europe.
