Untitled is a 1969 ink by Miguel-Ángel Cárdenas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a floating, see-through chair made of bright yellow and green shapes. The seat and backrest are split into jagged pieces, almost like they’re melting or dissolving. A small green square with a hole sits alone at the bottom right, like a leftover piece. The way the lines overlap and crisscross gives it a wobbly, unstable feel—like the chair might tip over. The colors are flat and bold, with no shadows or depth. If you like this odd mix of shapes and colors, check out cross-hatching next.
Miguel-Ángel Cárdenas (October 3, 1934 – June 2, 2015), also known as Michel Cardena, was a Colombian-Dutch Nouveau réalisme and pop art painter and a pioneer of video art in the Netherlands.
