1966
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1966 ink by Marcel Mariën, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a black background with bright orange block letters spelling out *A VENDRE*. The words are centered in a simple gold frame. The edges of the letters are slightly uneven, like they were printed by hand. The phrase *A VENDRE* means "for sale" in French. The artist used a screenprinting method, which is why the colors look flat and the lines aren’t perfectly smooth. Look up Marcel Mariën to see more of his work with bold text and simple ideas.
Marcel Mariën (29 April 1920 – 19 September 1993) was a Belgian surrealist (later Situationist), poet, essayist, photographer, collagist, and filmmaker.
