Untitled is a 1987 ink by Richard Deacon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two large, smooth shapes against a black background. They look like stretched fabric or skin, connected at the top in a loop. The shapes are a pale, almost grayish color, with faint lines running through them. The artist used a printing method called aquatint to create soft, shadowy tones. This technique lets them build up subtle gradations of color instead of sharp lines. Next, look up aquatint to see how it works.
