Untitled is a 1961 oil by Takeo Yamaguchi, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single flat shape of bright orange set against a deep black background. The orange is a rough rectangle, slightly uneven at the edges, with small black gaps at the corners. The paint looks smooth but solid, with no visible brushstrokes or texture. The simplicity makes you notice how the color sits against the dark—no details to distract. It’s just two colors, one shape, and the way they push against each other. If you like this kind of bold, minimal art, look up Takeo Yamaguchi.
