Untitled is a 1941 ink by Aleksandr Rodchenko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows simple shapes—curved lines and straight ones—on a light brown background. The lines form a loose grid with two big circles cut by diagonal strokes. It looks like it was drawn quickly, almost like a sketch. The artist used just ink on paper, with no color. The lines vary in thickness, making some parts stand out more than others.
