Untitled is a 1971 ink by Red Grooms, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a big, cartoonish figure with a top hat and a yellow apron. It’s pulling a cart with wheels, and the figure’s face looks like a mix of human and animal. The figure has a sign that says "NO GAS" in bold white letters, and the background is a bright red-orange with simple buildings and windmills. The artist added the words "by Red Grooms" to the figure’s apron, almost like a signature. The whole scene feels bold and playful, with strong colors and simple shapes. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
