Untitled is a 1991 ink by Jasper Johns, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is split in half. On the left, a dark background holds a mix of shapes—some look like stars, others like tangled lines or a wheel with spokes. The right side is mostly black with faint, ghostly marks, like a shadowy figure or a smudged outline. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone or metal plate. That’s how the crisp lines and soft smudges both ended up here. Look up lithography to see how this process works.
