1963
paperboard
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1963 by Michael Snow, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a grid of 63 small squares. Each square has a red silhouette of people—some walking, some standing, some overlapping. The red looks like it was stamped on, and the shapes are simple but move in different directions. The artist used the same stamp over and over, but the way the figures overlap and change makes it feel alive. It’s like watching a crowd from far away, where you can’t see faces but you get the idea of movement. Next, check out Michael Snow to see how he played with repetition in other works.
Michael James Aleck Snow was a Canadian artist who worked in a range of media including film, installation, sculpture, photography, and music.
