About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1987 print by Shoichi Ida, comprising six aquatints and drypoints with chine collé, held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The print features a square divided into four equal parts by thin black lines, with a large circle cut in half. The upper half of the circle is filled with a soft, light peach color, while the lower half remains blank, creating a contrast between filled and empty space.
Technique & Style
The peach color's softness and unevenness are achieved through a combination of printing techniques, including aquatint and chine collé, which allow for subtle texture and tonal variation.
