About this work

Overview

Lynn Bowers's 1970 painting 'Untitled' is a triptych abstract work held at The Museum of Modern Art. It consists of synthetic polymer paint on canvas.

Subject & Meaning

The painting features three tall, wavy vertical stripes against a flat background, colored in soft light greens, blues, and purples, with thin white outlines. The undulating forms evoke a sense of movement, though they are static.

Technique & Style

Bowers achieved a sense of ambiguity with smooth, clean edges, making the wavy stripes resemble fabric or water. The painting's abstraction resists clear interpretation, blurring the line between representation and non-representation.
