Untitled is a 1962 paint by Morris Louis, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three tall, uneven stripes on a light background. The colors are deep purple on the left, bright yellow in the middle, and dark green on the right. The edges of the stripes are fuzzy, not sharp, and the paint looks smooth but slightly uneven. The stripes don’t look like anything real—they’re just shapes and color. The artist used a new kind of paint that stays flat and doesn’t dry with texture. Look up Morris Louis to see how he made these simple but bold paintings.
