About this work
Overview
Untitled is a drawing by Sawada Tetsuro, created in 1964 using gouache and ink on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing features two abstract forms: a dark, irregular circle above a flat rectangle. The circle is outlined in thick black lines, while the rectangle contains a small white circle and two red dots. The composition is loose and expressive, with visible splatters and smudges.
Technique & Style
Sawada Tetsuro employed a mix of gouache, a water-based opaque paint, and ink to achieve a textured, spontaneous effect. The application of paint appears rapid and gestural, contributing to the overall sense of informality.
