About this work
Overview
Untitled is a mixed-media work created by Jack Smith in 1969, combining various materials on a paperboard box top. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Technique & Style
The work features a dense, dark surface with oil paint, augmented by fragments of metallic foil, plastic, and masking tape. The textures and colors are varied, with some areas smooth and others rough or torn, creating a complex, layered appearance.
Subject & Meaning
The composition prioritizes texture and color over representational form, resulting in a non-representational work that resists clear interpretation. The materials and techniques used contribute to its abstract, collage-like quality.
