Untitled is a 1975 ink by Channa Horwitz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a tall, narrow sheet of ink on a light background. The image is made up of tiny, slanted lines that form words and phrases. The text looks handwritten but is faint, as if it’s fading or barely there. The words are scattered in clusters, some overlapping, others spaced apart. The ink is dark but thin, almost see-through in spots. It feels like a quiet, private message meant only for someone who knows how to read it. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build images with lines.
