Untitled is a 1968 ink by Betye Saar, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two dark, blurry circles side by side on a light background. Around them are simple shapes—moons, stars, and circles—pressed into the paper like stamps. The edges of the circles look rough, almost like fingerprints or smudges. The shapes around the circles are repeated in neat rows, but the circles themselves feel messy and uneven. This mix of clean lines and rough marks is the trick here. Next, check out etching to see how artists carve into metal to make prints like this.
