Untitled is a 1960 oil by Rubem Valentim, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two white triangles on a dark background. Between them is a vertical line of small white rectangles. Below, a thick white stripe cuts across a black band at the bottom. The shapes are simple but precise, like a puzzle piece. The artist used flat colors and clean edges—no shading or texture to soften the lines. Look up Rubem Valentim to see how he played with geometry in other works.
Rubem Valentim (9 November 1922 – 30 November 1991) was born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. A self-taught artist, he started to paint as a child, doing figure and landscapes for Christmas crèches.
