About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1950 monotype print by Julius Bissier, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print features a loose arrangement of colored shapes on a light background, with earthy tones and splashes of bright blue and pale pink. The abstract forms do not represent recognizable objects, instead existing as non-representational entities that overlap and float apart.

Technique & Style

Created using the monotype technique, the print's handmade quality is evident in its rough, unpolished appearance. The process involves applying ink to a surface and transferring it to paper in a single impression, resulting in a unique mark.
