Untitled is a 1955 graphite by Auguste Herbin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is all black lines on a light background. You see squares, circles, and triangles in different sizes. Some shapes overlap or touch each other. The lines are thick and confident, like they were drawn quickly. The artist stacked shapes to fill the space neatly. It looks like a puzzle made of simple forms. Next, check out Auguste Herbin.
