Untitled is a 1995 ink by Phyllis Bramson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image looks like a collage of different pictures and colors all stuck together. In the center, two cartoon-like figures sit on a bench, talking. One wears a pink dress, the other a light blue shirt. Around them are bright blocks of color—red flowers, a yellow sunburst, and a dark blue wall with a window. Smaller images pop up everywhere: a lamp, a face in a circle, and a woman in a red dress. The mix of styles and colors makes it feel busy but fun. The figures look simple, almost like cutouts, while the background pieces are more detailed. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
