"Untitled" exemplifies Minimalism, a movement emphasizing the essence of a subject by eliminating non-essential features. Rendered with simple geometric forms and a restrained palette, the artwork strips away complex details often found in abstract art to focus on fundamental elements. Its construction may involve humble materials like cardboard or gouache paint, highlighting the minimalist objective of exposing pure form and concept. This approach serves as a reaction to more expressive styles, offering a stark contrast to abstract or abstract art movements, and aligns with the post–World War II Western art tradition associated with artists like Donald Judd or Sol LeWitt.
