Untitled
1953
gouache
paper
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1953 gouache by Rubén Núñez, a Kinetic Art work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece looks like a round wall hanging made of thin, straight wires arranged in tight, repeating rows. The wires are mostly black and white, with a few red, green, and orange ones scattered in. The whole thing is set against a dark background, making the wires stand out. The wires are bent slightly at the edges, giving the piece a soft, rounded shape. It’s not a painting in the usual sense—it’s more like a mix of wire and paint on a wooden base. If you like this, check out gouache to see how artists use that paint-like medium.
Rubén Núñez (1930–2012) was a Venezuelan artist, born in Valencia.
