Untitled is a 1973 ink by Nemesio Antúnez, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a striking composition, with a red silhouette of a man's profile set against a blue background. The man's head is tilted slightly to the right, and his nose is pointed upwards. A black outline surrounds the silhouette, which is positioned within a square frame. The background of the painting is a serene blue, with a subtle gradient that evokes a sense of depth and atmosphere. In the foreground, a flock of white birds is depicted in flight, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the natural world. For more works that explore the interplay of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
Nemesio Antúnez Zañartu (Born in Santiago, May 4, 1918 - May 19, 1993) was a Chilean painter and engraver who founded Workshop 99.
