Untitled is a 1988 ink by David Kadish Alan Saret, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a tall, narrow shape in the center—like a building or tower—made of thin, grid-like lines. Around it float four starburst shapes, some filled with tiny dots and lines, others with crisscrossing patterns. The colors are mostly black, white, and a faint greenish tint. The starbursts look like they’re made by layering lines, almost like a wireframe. The tower’s grid lines fade into a darker shade at the bottom, giving it depth. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
