Untitled 1960

Jannis Kounellis's "Untitled" from 1960 is a striking example of his minimalist approach to art, using starkly simplified forms and symbols on a neutral canvas. The piece features black painted geometric shapes, including crosses and an arrow, resembling a mathematical equation, prompting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between form, meaning, and representation. This work embodies Kounellis's exploration of the interplay between abstraction and figuration, characteristic of his early artistic practice.
