About this work

Overview

Untitled is a screenprint with watercolor additions by Marcel Dzama, created in 2004. It is part of a portfolio of five prints and is held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts rows of small, flat figures in simple poses, rendered in a uniform brownish-gray color with occasional watercolor accents. The figures appear to be engaged in various activities, and some seem to be mimicking others, suggesting a theme of imitation or play.

Technique & Style

The use of screenprinting allows for a flat, graphic quality, while the watercolor additions introduce subtle texture and color variation. The plain white background emphasizes the cut-out appearance of the figures.
