Untitled is a 1968 ink by Gordon A. Smith, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all straight lines and bright colors. Thick black stripes run the whole height, with white rectangles breaking them up at the top and bottom. Between the black are tall bands of blue, pink, and green—some solid, some fading into deeper shades. The colors don’t mix smoothly; they’re sharp and clean, like blocks of paint. The edges are crisp, and the white rectangles look almost like gaps or windows in the black lines. If you like this kind of bold, simple design, look up Gordon A. Smith.
Gordon Appelbe Smith (June 18, 1919 – January 18, 2020) was an English-born Canadian artist, known for expanding the dialogue between abstraction and representation, working with mediums such as painting, printmaking, and sculpting.
