Untitled is a 1990 ink by Norman Catherine, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This screenprint is packed with wild, colorful faces and shapes. Big green teeth and red eyes pop against a dark background. There’s a sign that says “Green-Man Funeral Home Now Open,” with tiny figures doing odd jobs like embalming. Bright colors like purple, yellow, and neon green clash in a busy, chaotic way. The artist mixed funny and serious ideas—like a funeral home with a cartoonish vibe. The print looks like it was made with bold, flat colors and sharp lines, almost like a comic book. If you like this wild style, check out Norman Catherine.
