Untitled is a 1963 glass by Thomas Wilfred, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a blur of light and color. You see swirls of orange, blue, and white glowing against a dark background. The shapes don’t form anything you’d recognize—just soft, shifting patches of light. The artist used projected light on glass to create this effect. It’s not a brushstroke in sight, which makes it different from most paintings. Check out Thomas Wilfred to learn more about how he made light itself into art.
