Untitled is a 1943 by Harry Bertoia, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is made of overlapping rectangles in muted blues, rusts, and grays. The shapes don’t line up neatly—they’re stacked like uneven books. Some areas look rough, almost like sandpaper, while others are smoother. Thin lines of orange and white peek through the layers. The artist used a monoprint method, which means each piece is unique. The colors feel worn, like old paper or faded metal. Next, check out Harry Bertoia to see how he mixed sculpture and printmaking.
