About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1963 abstract painting by Miroslav Šutej, created using tempera and pencil on canvas. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The painting features a large spiral circle filled with black and white stripes that twist outward from the center, creating a dizzying effect. The composition is non-representational, with the striped pattern evoking a sense of design or maze rather than a natural form.

Technique & Style

Šutej's use of tempera and pencil gives the painting's lines a crisp, mechanical appearance. The abstract design is characterized by its bold, graphic quality, with the black and creamy white colors used to create a striking visual effect.
