Untitled is a 1946 oil by Juan Melé, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is made of sharp, flat colors arranged in uneven blocks. Black, green, yellow, and brown rectangles overlap in a way that feels off-kilter. The edges are clean but the shapes don’t line up perfectly, like a puzzle missing a few pieces. The colors are muted, not bright—more like faded fabric than fresh paint. The black sections look almost like shadows between the brighter patches. If you like this kind of bold, simple shapes, look up Juan Melé.
Juan Nicolás Melé was an Argentine sculptor, painter, and art critic. Melé was a member of the Asociación Arte Concreto-Invención as well as co-founder of the Grupo Arte Nuevo.
