From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1946 graphite by Isamu Noguchi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows black shapes cut from graph paper and glued onto a yellowish background. The shapes look like simplified figures with long arms holding objects above their heads. The whole thing sits on a dark border, making the colors pop. The grid lines on the figures suggest the artist used graph paper as both material and guide. The black outlines stand out sharply against the pale background, giving it a bold, clean look. If you like this style, check out Isamu Noguchi.
