About this work
Overview
Untitled is a series of eight casein drawings on mylar created by Channa Horwitz in 1982. The work is characterized by its vibrant, densely packed lines that form a diamond shape.
Technique & Style
The drawing features wavy lines in bright colors, including reds, greens, blues, and yellows, which are so closely spaced that they appear to blur. The manual execution of the work belies its almost mechanical appearance, achieved through the repetition of the lines.
Subject & Meaning
The composition is structured around a linear progression, reflecting Horwitz's systematic approach to art. The number eight, used in the work's construction, was a recurring element in her compositions.
History & Provenance
The work is part of the collection at The Museum of Modern Art.
