Jasper Johns

Untitled
1986

An abstract monochromatic artwork featuring a complex array of interlocking shapes and forms that resemble shards or fragments, rendered in various shades of brown and black. The composition is dense and layered, with a dynamic sense of movement. The image includes a signature at the bottom right corner and some text at the bottom left, indicating the artist's name and possibly the title or date of the work. The paper on which the artwork is created shows signs of aging or intentional distress, contributing to the overall textured appearance.
