Untitled is a 1973 ink by Victor Vasarely, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all dots and colors. Big circles float in the middle, made of tiny blue and purple dots. The background has wavy lines of the same dots, shifting from dark to light. The whole thing looks like it’s moving, but it’s just shapes and patterns. The dots are all the same size, but the colors change. Some spots are darker, others lighter, making the circles pop. The artist played with how your eyes see shapes and colors. Look up lithography next—it’s a printing trick that makes sharp, clean lines like this.
