About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1964 lithograph by Lee Mullican, an American artist associated with the Dynaton Movement. The work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The print features a dense, abstract composition of green and white shapes, including circles, swirls, dots, and lines. The arrangement is non-representational, with multiple patterns and rhythms working together to create a complex visual design.

Technique & Style

The lithograph's flat, two-dimensional quality is characteristic of the medium. Mullican's use of texture and pattern creates a dynamic, layered effect, with various elements overlapping and intersecting.

Context

Untitled reflects Mullican's involvement with the Dynaton Movement, a mid-20th-century art movement that emerged in the San Francisco Bay Area. The movement was associated with a 1951 exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
