Untitled
1972
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1972 ink by Jan Voss, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a wild mix of shapes and colors. You see floating legs, arms, and faces scattered across a light background. Some parts look like they’re cut out and glued on—like a red dress or a yellow square. There’s a tiny sketch of a bed in red, and a few figures seem to be dancing or falling. The colors are bright but simple: yellows, blues, and reds stand out the most. The artist used different techniques to make this piece, like printing and maybe even adding textures. It feels like a collage where everything is loose and free. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
