Untitled is a 1971 ink by Norman Stevens, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like two tall buildings side by side. Both are made of clean, flat stripes in soft colors—whites, grays, blues, and a touch of pink near the bottom. The lines are straight and even, like stacked windows or floors. The middle has a thin white gap, like a street or alley between them. The colors fade slightly from top to bottom, making the buildings feel taller. The artist used a printing method that keeps the lines sharp and the colors smooth. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
