About this work

Overview

This 1966 screenprint, Untitled, is a work by Belgian artist Pol Bury. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a tower-like structure composed of wavy lines in bright, bold colors such as yellow, blue, and orange. A faint cityscape is visible at the bottom, but is largely obscured by the vibrant, tangled forms above.

Technique & Style

The screenprint technique used by Bury allowed for crisp, graphic lines and precise color application, although the lines appear slightly uneven due to the nature of the process.

History & Provenance

Bury's work transitioned from painting to kinetic sculpture around this time, and this print reflects that shift. The work is now held in The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
