《無題》是朱德群創作於1987年的石版畫作品，共印了50版。朱德群自50年代初遠赴法國後受西方抽象大師尼古拉·德·斯塔埃爾（Nicolas de Staël）所啟發，創作從具象走到抽象，筆觸間流露出早期已紮下的油畫和書法基礎：既帶有西方濃豔強烈、層次豐厚的色彩元素，也表現出中國山水水墨的靈秀縱逸。朱德群在80至90年代的作品在融會貫通以上技法方面更是爐火純青，並將其對人與大自然的感悟化為神來之筆，在畫布上發揮恣肆的想像力。

Untitled is a lithograph by Chu Teh-Chun in 1987 with an edition of 50. Since his travelling to France in the early 1950s, Chu had encountered the works by the Western abstract master Nicolas de Staël, who inspired him to move from figurative art to abstract art. His works reveal his profound foundation in oil painting and Chinese traditional calligraphy developed from his early days, which not only embody rich layers of electrifying colours, but also present the massive beauty of Chinese landscape in ink and wash. From the 1980s to the 1990s, Chu's works are even more proficient in integrating the above techniques, in which he turns his understanding towards humans and nature into every tactful brushstroke, and at the same time, exerts his unbridled imagination on the canvas.
