Untitled is a 1984 photographic by General Idea, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three identical bald men peeking out from under a single white blanket. Their faces are smooth and pale, with wide eyes and small smiles. The background is a soft blue sky with wispy clouds, while the blanket is a plain white with a peach-colored edge. The faces look like they’re made from a single photo, cut and repeated. The artist used paint to smooth out the edges and add color, giving it a clean, almost fake look. Check out how the artist General Idea used cut-and-pasted photos in their work.
