Untitled is a 1970 ink by Joe Tilson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a face made of tiny dots and lines, glowing against a bright yellow background. Around it, there are colorful collage strips—some look like musical notes, others like birds or glasses. Below, small black-and-white photos of people are glued in, and a few odd shapes (a bird, a shell) sit at the bottom. The dots forming the face might be a nod to how old photos or screens look up close. The mix of images and colors feels playful, like a puzzle. Check out Joe Tilson to see how he played with shapes and textures in other works.
