- Artist
- Maurice Golubov, born Vetka, Russia 1905-died Peekskill, NY 1987
- Exhibition Label
- The complex of arcs, diagonals, and circles within circles give Untitled the look of a landscape seen from above. Tawny browns are reminiscent of tilled earth, and rectangles of green suggest fields of new growth. Golubov, who had immigrated with his family from tsarist Russia when he was twelve, said he had no theories about art. Instead, he wanted “to make order out of chaos,” and so created “landscapes of the mind.”
