Untitled is a 2004 ink by Michael Cline, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a person in a bright green coat and a wide-brimmed hat, hugging a horse with a shaggy mane. The background is simple—a small window with a slanted roof and bare branches outside. The colors are bold, with the green coat standing out against the muted tones of the horse and the pale window. The artist mixed paint and ink, adding ballpoint pen lines for texture. The horse’s face is blurred, making it look almost like a shadow. Check out more by Michael Cline to see how he plays with colors and shapes.
