Untitled is a 2009 acrylic by Noah Davis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a square of gold leaf on a black background, with four blue eyes peeking out from the gold. The eyes are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with two at the top and two at the bottom, each one slightly offset from the center. The gold leaf is rough and textured, giving the piece a sense of depth and dimensionality. The eyes themselves are simple and unadorned, but they seem to hold a deep sense of emotion and intensity. They appear to be looking directly at the viewer, creating a sense of connection and intimacy. The use of gold leaf and the simple, yet powerful composition make this piece a compelling and thought-provoking work of art. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Noah Davis.
