Untitled is a 1979 ink by Jannis Kounellis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple, light blue floral pattern framing a large black square. The flowers—daisy-like and delicate—are scattered around the edges, their stems and leaves faintly sketched in the same soft blue. The black center stands out sharply against the pale background, creating a quiet contrast. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit lightly on the paper, almost like a stamp. This keeps the lines clean but airy, as if the flowers were pressed gently onto the page. Look up aquatint next to see how artists use acid to create smooth tones like these.
