Ad Reinhardt, Untitled, 1940
From the Smithsonian American Art Museum:
In the 1940s, Ad Reinhardt experimented with collage, cutting up newspapers, magazines, and books to create images that were “spontaneous and accidental” (“Reinhardt,” Arts and Architecture, 1947). Many of his paintings from that time show the same layered quality as his collages, and in Untitled the hard, jagged edges evoke cut and ripped pieces of paper. These thin, colored rectangles resemble confetti, scattered over the image as if flickering and swirling through the air.
