Untitled is a 1963 oil by Shuji Mukai, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a messy grid of tiny shapes. Rows of strange, squiggly marks fill the whole thing—some look like numbers, others like scribbles. The colors are mostly black and white, but there’s a thin yellow line running through the middle. The surface isn’t smooth; it feels rough, like the shapes are stuck on with glue or string. The artist used real strings and oil paint to build this up. It’s not just drawn—it’s layered, almost like a puzzle made of scraps. If you like this, check out Shuji Mukai for more of his work.
