About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1953 drawing by Mangelos, created using gouache on a printed book page. It is a predominantly dark square with subtle marks and worn edges, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Technique & Style

The artwork features gouache paint applied over a printed page, with the underlying text still visible in areas where the paint is thin. The paint's uneven application and the worn edges contribute to the piece's textured appearance.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing includes red handwriting at the top, spelling out a name in uneven letters. The dominant black color is achieved by painting over the original printed page, leaving faint residual marks.
