Untitled is a 1925 graphite by Amédée Ozenfant, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows simple shapes stacked like blocks. There’s a tall, narrow vase on the left, a round bowl in the middle, and a tall, lopsided pitcher on the right. The lines are light and sketchy, almost like a quick study. The background is plain white, so the shapes stand out clearly. The artist used just pencil strokes—no color, no shading. The lines feel loose but precise, like they were drawn fast. It looks like furniture or everyday objects, but they’re all simplified into basic forms. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shapes with lines.
Amédée Ozenfant (15 April 1886 – 4 May 1966) was a French cubist painter and writer. Together with Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (later known as Le Corbusier) he founded the Purist movement.
