Titled *Ultra AB* and signed by designer M. Sutej, this 1966 color silkscreen is a non-representational design rather than a scene or portrait. Screen printing suited the flat, saturated fields and hard-edged forms that defined abstract graphic work in the 1960s, and it let designers produce multiple copies of a single image. The gallery files it under music and dance, which hints at a link to performance or an event, though the record does not say what it was made for. Close looking shows how layered inks and precise registration give the surface its crisp, vibrating quality.
