About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1970 drawing by Bill Jacklin, created with ink on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing features a centered black square on a light background, achieved through a pattern of tiny, repeating lines that give the appearance of texture and depth. The work focuses on the effect of these marks rather than representing a realistic subject.
Technique & Style
The black square is formed by closely spaced lines that blur together when viewed from a distance, creating a sense of shading or shadow. This technique emphasizes the materiality of the ink and the texture it produces on the paper.
