Untitled 1971

This 1971 work by Simon Hantai is a prime example of the artist's signature " pliage" technique. Hantai created this abstract watercolor by folding and unfolding paper, allowing the paint to seep through the creases and creating unique textures. The resulting composition is characterized by vibrant colors and a seemingly chaotic yet balanced arrangement of geometric shapes. The abstract, organic quality of "Untitled" is typical of Hantai's artwork and reflects his exploration of chance and process in artmaking.
