Untitled is a 1978 paint by Yayoi Kusama, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a dark, dreamy landscape. Wavy lines of purple and gray fill the space, with tiny dots and splatters scattered across it. The shapes feel soft and blurry, like clouds or water, but they’re also sharp in places, almost like a net. The artist used spray paint on paper, which makes the colors look uneven and rough. It’s not a realistic scene—more like an abstract mood. If you like this style, check out Yayoi Kusama.
