Description:
The third installment of a visionary series, Untitled III (1989) confirms the rich iconography and critical power of Lari Pittman, a key figure of the Californian art scene. In this color lithograph, Pittman stages a procession of black figures with theatrical silhouettes, placed on a geometric structure evoking a stage or vessel. Abstract shapes, directional arrows, concentric motifs, and cartographic elements intertwine to create a space saturated with symbols and visual tension.

The composition, firmly postmodern, references history painting, political frescoes, and popular imagery. Each detail becomes a clue in this fresco, where the artist examines power structures, gender representation, and cultural memory.

With Untitled II, Pittman continues his visual exploration of narrative fragmentation, using lithography to confront the viewer with a flow of graphic and ideological information.
