From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1911 ink by Carlo Carrà, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a tangled mess of lines and shapes. Dark ink scratches crisscross the paper, making sharp edges and rough patches. Some areas are almost solid black, while others are barely there—just faint strokes. It’s hard to tell what it’s supposed to be, but it feels chaotic and busy. The artist used a lot of overlapping lines to build up the dark spots. It’s like they layered shadows to make the image pop. No clear figures or scenes jump out—just a jumble of marks. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
Carlo Carrà (Italian: ; February 11, 1881 – April 13, 1966) was an Italian painter and a leading figure of the Futurist movement that flourished in Italy during the beginning of the 20th century.
