Untitled is a 1966 ink by R. B. Kitaj, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a mix of bold colors and black-and-white photos. The top half has a pink border framing yellow panels with black handprints, trees, and the word "RAT" repeated. Below, a black-and-white photo of a busy factory floor appears, with a glowing red-orange vertical streak cutting through it. The word "RAT" might seem odd, but it’s repeated like a stamp or a warning. The factory scene looks real, while the colored panels feel like a dream or a warning. Next, look up R. B. Kitaj to see how he mixed photos and paint.
