Untitled is a 1996 ink by Louise Bourgeois, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a big, round shape with bold colors. The outside is a thick red ring, and inside are swirls of orange, blue, and yellow. The colors blend together in a messy, uneven way, like something hand-painted. The background is just a pale green square. The painting looks like it was made quickly, with brushstrokes that feel raw and uneven. The colors pop against each other, but they don’t form anything you’d recognize. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
