Untitled is a 1926 graphite by Aleksandr Rodchenko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch is a pencil drawing on graph paper, featuring a large square in the center. The square has a thin black border and a red line along its right edge. Above the square, the word "red" is written in large, stylized letters, with the "r" and "e" in red and the "d" in black. The letters are outlined in black and have a 3D effect. In the top-left corner, the word "red" is written again, but this time in smaller letters. Below the square, the year "1926" is written in small letters, along with some illegible text. The overall effect of the sketch is one of simplicity and minimalism, with clean lines and bold shapes. To learn more about the artist behind this sketch, explore the works of Aleksandr Rodchenko.
