1956

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Dominant colour
Untitled is a 1956 ink by Loren MacIver, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a loose, colorful sketch. On the left, a vertical line of small shapes—red, green, and blue—tapers like a tree or a branch. To the right, wispy blue lines and a few clusters of green and pink marks float on the page. The whole thing feels quick, almost like scribbles. The artist used a printing method that lets marks stay light and sketchy. The colors pop against the pale background, but nothing is perfectly formed. Look up lithography to see how this technique works.
Loren MacIver was an American painter and the first woman represented in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
