Untitled is a 1955 ink by Albert Alcalay, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a busy city street with tall, crooked buildings. A large truck with "FLORE" written on its side sits in the middle, surrounded by smaller cars and people. The lines are rough and overlapping, giving everything a busy, almost chaotic feel. Notice how the artist used lots of tiny lines layered on top of each other to create shadows and depth. It’s not just about what’s drawn—it’s how it’s drawn. Want to see more work like this? Check out cross-hatching.
