Untitled is a 1970 ink by James Rosenquist, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a swirl of bold colors—deep blues, bright yellows, and streaks of red and black. The shapes look like they’re moving, with thick black marks and splashes of white scattered across. It’s messy but controlled, like someone splattered paint and then let it dry that way. The title isn’t given, but the artist signed it in the corner. The colors feel electric, almost like fireworks exploding in the dark. If you like this wild, colorful style, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
