Untitled is a 1966 graphite by Marian Zazeela, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a messy, tangled web of black lines on a light background. The shapes twist and overlap, filling the whole square space with no clear start or end. Some lines look thick and bold, while others fade into thin pencil strokes. The paper looks almost see-through, like it was meant to be layered or held up to light. The artist signed it in the corner with the date 1967. If you like this kind of abstract work, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more pieces like it.
Marian Zazeela (April 15, 1940 – March 28, 2024) was an American light artist, designer, calligrapher, painter, and musician based in New York City.
