About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1961 lithograph by Louis Bunce, one of ten in a portfolio. It is held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts layered, torn paper with dark shapes, suggesting a rough landscape and blurred figures or objects. The image's rough, uneven quality evokes the feeling of pages from an old book glued together.

Technique & Style

The lithographic process used by Bunce allows for a textured, messy appearance, as ink sits on a flat stone before being transferred to paper. This technique contributes to the print's raw, unpolished look.
