About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1968 painting by Peter Klasen, executed in silkscreen ink on canvas. It is an abstract work held in The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The painting depicts a large face within a circular mirror, accompanied by three hats above and a dark, furniture-like shape below. The face is rendered as a flat, expressionless form, while the hats appear to float, contributing to a stiff, mechanical atmosphere.
Technique & Style
Klasen's use of silkscreen ink on canvas allows for bold, graphic forms. The composition features simple, flat colors, including red and brown stripes against a white background, characteristic of Klasen's play with everyday objects and shapes.
