About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1990 lithograph by Julian Lethbridge, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print features a collection of oval shapes against a light background, varying in tone from dark and solid to fading gray. The irregular edges suggest a spontaneous or rough drawing process, creating an abstract composition that resists clear interpretation.

Technique & Style

The use of ink in the lithograph gives the shapes a tactile quality, as if they are impressed into the paper. The resulting effect is one of ambiguous forms and shadows, characteristic of the lithographic medium.
