Untitled is a 1965 ink by Haku Maki, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a big black shape with rough, tangled lines at the bottom. Above it, there’s a smooth white oval and a small yellow dot. To the right, a dark, jagged shape looks like a bird in flight. The black area has a textured look, like bark or cracks. The white oval feels light and empty next to the heavy black.

Maki Haku (巻白; 1924–2000) is the artistic name of Maejima Tadaaki, who was born in Ibaraki Prefecture.
