About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1965 lithograph by Kosso Eloul, an Israeli sculptor born in Russia in 1920. The print is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The work features a dominant red shape bisected by a sharp black line, with a small, indistinct scene in the top corner. The imagery reflects Eloul's ties to the 'Canaanite' art tradition and the abstractionist Ofakim Hadashim movement.
Technique & Style
Eloul employed lithography to achieve a mix of bold colors and crisp edges. The technique allowed for a contrast between the flat red area and the precise black line, with the small figures in the corner appearing relatively subtle.
