Untitled is a 1973 ink by Agnes Denes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is a tight spiral of numbers and lines on graph paper. The numbers fill the circles of Pascal’s Triangle, radiating outward in neat rows. Thin red ink lines crisscross the whole thing, making a web of shapes behind the text. The artist packed in a lot of math here—each number fits perfectly in its spot. The grid lines and handwritten look make it feel both precise and a little messy. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines like this.
