Untitled is a 1977 graphite by Barbara Horosko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a cracked, dry surface with rough edges breaking into sharp angles. In the center, a flat, smooth rectangle sits like a slab of concrete or a broken mirror. The colors are mostly muted grays and tans, with thin pencil or ink lines marking the cracks. The empty rectangle might feel like a missing piece—or a deliberate blank space. The cracks look hand-drawn, almost like a map of dried mud or a shattered floor. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to build texture and shadow.
