About this work
Overview
Untitled is an offset lithograph with collage elements created by Mischa Petrow in 1968. The work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The print juxtaposes disparate elements: three armored knights, a dog, a broken sword, and a fragment of stone are set against a dark background, while a toy soldier and a faded advertisement for a playroom appear adjacent to the knights, creating a sense of dissonance.
Technique & Style
The work combines offset lithography with collage, featuring black-and-white photographs adhered to a dark background. The contrast between the heavy, metallic appearance of the knights and the more ephemeral, commercial imagery of the advertisement and toy soldier adds to the overall visual tension.
