Untitled is a 1968 ink by Sam Francis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly white with bold splashes of color. Thick black lines cut across the top and sides. Bright dots—red, yellow, green—scatter like confetti. Some areas look like wet paint, others like sharp slashes. The colors clash but also mix in weird ways. The artist used a printing method called lithography. It’s not tied to any big art group, but the messy energy feels alive. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
