Untitled is a 1969 graphite by Channa Horwitz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece looks like a grid of tiny colored blocks arranged in rows and columns. The blocks are bright—reds, blues, greens, and yellows—stacked in uneven patterns. White arrows point to certain spots, like a game or puzzle. At the bottom, there’s a small key with more colored squares and numbers. The artist used graph paper and drew right on it, mixing paint with pencil. The colors feel random but also planned, like a code or a map. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to build up shapes.
Channa Horwitz (née Channa Helene Shapiro, aka "Channa Davis" and "Channa Davis Horwitz", May 21, 1932 – April 29, 2013) was a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, United States.
