Description: Created in 1989, Untitled I is a powerful and emblematic work by Lari Pittman, an American artist renowned for his complex, baroque, and narrative compositions. In this color lithograph, Pittman layers figurative, decorative, and symbolic elements into a visually rich kaleidoscope. The piece features silhouettes in shadow play, floral motifs, geometric shapes, and intimate or domestic scenes, juxtaposed with almost theatrical precision.

The work explores the tension between figuration and abstraction, between masculine and feminine, and between order and chaos, making it a deeply engaged piece that is both personal and political. The vibrant colors – yellows, greens, ochres, and blues – enhance the visual impact, while the fragmented scenes question the role of the individual in modern society.

Untitled I fully embodies Lari Pittman’s singular approach, influenced by decorative arts, popular traditions, and queer history.
