Untitled II

Google found 695,000 untitled images. My favorite from the top 200 is blank. A white image. This would almost be the definitive untitled statement. (I didn't find an all black image before I gave up.)

A white image can have content. The history of the white image is said to have started with Kasimir Malevich around 1915, with plenty of folks following him.

A truly blank image, would be transparent. Not in that you could see an image through it, but that there is simply nothing there.

Luckily, through the power of the Internet, we can now have transparent color.

...so here, below, is a blank image titled "Untitled":

A picture named untitled

by who else, but Anonymous.
