Untitled is a 1973 ink by Malcolm Morley, depicting catalogue, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork is a set of five large lithographs and a colophon page, all on white paper. The images mix painted-like textures with drawn lines, showing boats, maps, and floating shapes. Malcolm Morley made these in 1973 using a print method where artists draw on stone or metal, then ink is added and pressed onto paper. He often painted from photos and models, and here he plays with how flat images can suggest depth. The tilted boats and layered marks make the scenes feel like they’re moving or dissolving. You can see this portfolio at The Museum of Modern Art. (Word count: 110)
