Untitled is a 1973 acrylic by Simon Hantaï, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a swirl of tiny, uneven shapes in bright colors—mostly blues, yellows, and whites. The marks look hand-torn or smeared, with no clear edges or figures. It fills the whole canvas in a messy, busy way. The artist made it by folding and unfolding the canvas while painting, then unfolding it to create this chaotic pattern. It’s not trying to show anything real—just color and movement. If you like this style, look up Simon Hantaï next.
Simon Hantaï (7 December 1922, Biatorbágy, Hungary – Paris, 12 September 2008; took French nationality in 1966) is a painter generally associated with abstract art.
