Untitled is a 1973 ink by Lee Ufan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows rows of small blue shapes on a light background. The top has solid blue squares, then rectangles with wavy lines, and finally tiny dots and dashes. The colors are mostly blue and beige, and the shapes get simpler as you look down. The artist used a printing method where the design is drawn on a stone, then pressed onto paper. This creates a clean, repeated look. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
