Untitled is a 1988 gouache by Ward Jackson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows six diamond-shaped designs in bright colors. Each shape has bold lines dividing it into triangles and rectangles—red, yellow, black, and green stand out the most. The lines are uneven, like they were drawn quickly but carefully. The artist used felt-tip pen and gouache, a type of paint that’s watery but opaque. The colors pop against the plain paper, making the shapes feel almost three-dimensional. Check out the technique: gouache to see how it works.
Ward Jackson was an American visual artist most closely associated with post painterly abstraction and minimalism, an archivist at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the co-founder and editor of the publication "Art Now Gallery Guide".
