Untitled is a 1967 ink by Lee Chesney, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a mix of black, white, and a single bright blue splash. The shapes look like clouds or ink blots, some thick and dark, others fading into the paper. A few spots of blue peek through the black, adding a surprise pop of color. The artist used a printmaking method where ink is rolled onto a stone or metal plate. The result feels loose and spontaneous, like splatters caught mid-air. Try looking up lithography to see how this technique works.
