About this work
Overview
Marian Zazeela's 1983 offset lithograph, Untitled, is a print that reflects her work as a light artist, designer, and calligrapher.
Subject & Meaning
The print advertises a series of raga performances associated with Zazeela's work, *Raga Cycle*. It features a simple circular design with hand-drawn text referencing 'Pandit Gan Nath' and 'Raga Cycle', alongside neatly printed details of music events and ticket prices.
Technique & Style
The print combines contrasting styles: loose, hand-drawn lettering within a circular border, and neat, printed text below. The design is framed by a dotted edge, suggesting a straightforward, black ink print on plain paper.
Context
Zazeela's work is characterized by interdisciplinary experimentation, often in collaboration with her husband, La Monte Young, and within the Theatre of Eternal Music. This print reflects the conceptual and graphic precision typical of late 20th-century American art.
