Untitled is a 1999 by Willie Cole, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a bunch of brown, leaf-shaped marks scattered across a light background. The shapes look like they were burned or singed, with some darker lines inside them. The edges are uneven, and the whole thing has a rough, textured feel. The artist used a steam iron to make these marks on paper, then glued the paper to canvas. It’s not a traditional painting—it’s more like a mix of fire and fabric. Check out Willie Cole to see how he turns everyday objects into art.
