Untitled is a 1973 silver by Jacques Charlier, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two very different scenes stuck together. On the left, there’s just a flat board with a single bright red blob of paint in the middle. On the right, a black-and-white photo of a person lying in bed, reading a newspaper, with a wall covered in rows of small, empty cups. The red blob looks like it was painted quickly, maybe even by accident. The text at the bottom says something about an employee’s discovery and measurements—it’s a note about how the paint was placed. If you like this mix of simple shapes and everyday scenes, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more work like this.
