Untitled is a 1962 oil by Josip Vaništa, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white photo shows three people standing in front of a blank white wall. Two paintings hang on it—one on the left looks like a simple shape, maybe a rectangle with a line, and the other is almost empty except for a faint mark. The people are dressed in plain, dark clothes, and one woman is reaching up as if adjusting something. The empty-looking painting is actually a trick—it’s painted on a photo. The artist used real photos as canvases, then added paint over them. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
Josip Vaništa (1924–2018) was a Croatian artist, born in Karlovac.
