Untitled is a 2003 ink by Jason Middlebrook, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows five tall, colorful figures standing close together. They’re dressed in bright robes and hats, with one figure riding a deer-like animal. The background is cut away in wavy shapes, leaving the figures floating against a light gray edge. Colors pop—greens, reds, and blues—while the lines look both rough and precise. The figures seem to blend into each other, almost like they’re part of the same shape. The way the cuts frame them makes the whole piece feel like a puzzle.
