Untitled is a 1969 ink by William Pettet, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is all dark, rough colors. You see big patches of gray, brown, and black. The shapes look like they’re smudged or dragged. Some spots are lighter, almost white, but they don’t stand out. The texture looks like it was made by pressing ink onto stone. It’s not smooth—it’s gritty, like sand mixed into the paint. Check out how lithography works next. It’s a printmaking trick.
William Pettet (b. 1942) was an American artist, born in Los Angeles.
