Untitled is a 2002 ink by Jason Middlebrook, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a burst of energy in the center. Sharp black lines radiate outward in all directions, mixed with splashes of bright colors—yellows, blues, and greens. The edges are messy, with faint outlines of shapes like bottles and a possible face hidden in the chaos. The artist used a mix of bold strokes and lighter marks to create movement. It’s hard to tell what it all means, but the explosion of colors and lines makes it feel dynamic. If you like this style, check out the technique: lithography to see how prints like this are made.
