About this work

Overview

Untitled is a collection of 43 loose drawings by Ree Morton, created circa 1966. The work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Technique & Style

The drawings feature a grid of graph paper with colored lines and shapes. The composition includes geometric forms, such as a pink square with a white 'window' and gray diagonal lines, alongside zigzag lines and scattered dots in various colors. The use of simple, bright colors and non-traditional arrangement suggests an experimental approach.

Subject & Meaning

The work's meaning is not immediately clear, but its use of geometric forms and abstract compositions may be related to Morton's associations with postminimalism and feminist art of the 1970s.
