Untitled is a 1984 gouache by Katherine Porter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a mix of sharp angles and bold colors. Jagged black lines fill most of the space, but there’s a bright yellow shape outlined in red on the left. To the right, a dark circle with a spiral inside feels like a tunnel or a doorway. The colors are mostly gray and black, but the yellow and red stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving it a rough, almost sketchy feel. The artist used ink and gouache, which is a type of water-based paint.
