'Untitled (cage), from Art Pro-Choice II' by Ross Bleckner is a lithograph from 1991, measuring 51 × 41 cm, from the politically engaged print portfolio 'Art Pro-Choice II'. Vertical yellow and teal-green stripes fill the entire surface, their softly blurred edges giving the field a textile quality — the stripes read as both wallpaper and bars. A small, precisely rendered black-and-white bird stands in the lower-right quadrant, dwarfed by the repeating pattern around it. The work is hand-signed and from a numbered edition. Bleckner, whose paintings of the same period used abstraction and coded imagery to address the AIDS crisis, brings the same economy of means here: a single, isolated figure against an overwhelming geometric field, with the parenthetical title making the spatial logic of captivity explicit.
