Untitled is a 1970 ink by Robert Hansen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is mostly red with big white shapes. Some look like arms, legs, or hands—some are stretched out, some are curled. There’s a big white blob in the middle that could be a face or a cloud. Two small black squares show close-ups: one of a hand and one of a face. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to make it look almost like a puzzle. The red background makes the white shapes stand out. Look up lithography next to see how this kind of print was made.
