Untitled
1959
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1959 by Niviaksiak, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a dark, shadowy figure with a long spear pointed upward. The shape is simple but striking, with a rounded body and two legs that seem to float. The background is mostly plain, with just a few small marks near the top. The figure looks like it’s standing on a tiny patch of ground, with a single dot below it—maybe a footprint. The artist used a stencil to create this bold, flat look. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
