Untitled is a 1961 by Tetsumi Kudo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This work is a grid of small squares, each filled with messy black-and-white shapes. Some squares have faint circles with tiny figures or objects inside them. The rest are just chaotic scribbles or splatters of ink. The whole thing looks like it was made by cutting and gluing scraps of paper. The artist used a mix of printed images and hand-drawn marks, giving it a rough, layered feel. The figures in the circles are simple—just stick figures or odd symbols—but they stand out against the messy background. If you like this kind of mixed-media art, check out Tetsumi Kudo.
Tetsumi Kudо̄ was a Japanese avant-garde artist whose multidisciplinary practice included painting, performance, installation and sculpture.
