Meaning & Analysis

Untitled (bronze) (1978) by Bridget Riley was released in a signed edition of 75 screen prints. It is composed of wavy verticals in three warm pastels that, dissolving into one another, seem to generate many new hues— a prismatic illusion inspired by Pointillism’s similar composite approach to colour.

Untitled (bronze), much like Untitled (blue), features Riley's Waves motif. Lines ripple vertically down the canvas in hues that change at alternating lengths. Despite using just three colours, they merge and bounce off each other, creating a rainbow of varying hues. Each colour choice persists for one and a half wave lengths before merging into a new colour at a peak of trough of the wave. Whilst viewing Untitled (bronze) from a distance, the different shades are perfectly separate and recognisable. Yet, from a distance, they overlap and fuse together.

The colours in the composition are intended to be considered as pairs, in cooler or warmer clusters arranged in certain areas of the canvas. Riley used warm hues to evoke a summery, warm feel. Mixed colours were chosen rather than pure ones in order to maximise the interaction between the lines and tones in the eye of the viewer.

This was my first time using MyArtBroker. I had a print I wanted to sell and went on their website to register my interest. What impressed me from the start was I gained confidence in the whole business model, from their verifying my details and updating me on each part of the process. The person who did the valuation report also gave me confidence that I wa...

When you have valuable artwork to sell, approaching the "art world" market as a novice can be quite intimidating. My Art Broker made the whole process easy and seamless. They are knowledgeable, transparent and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them.
