About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 1993 lithograph printed offset by Jasper Johns, combines bold geometric patterns and vibrant colors in a dynamic composition.
Subject & Meaning
The print's abstract arrangement of clashing stripes, shapes, and a central yellow oval with dots resists a specific narrative, instead emphasizing visual tension and chromatic interaction.
Technique & Style
Johns employed lithography, a stone-based printing process, to achieve a hand-drawn appearance. The technique involves layering ink on stone before transferring it to paper, resulting in the work's distinctive, layered look.
History & Provenance
Created in 1993, Untitled is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection, reflecting Johns' association with influential postwar American art movements, including abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and pop art.
