Untitled is a 1958 ink by Domenico Gnoli, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a city made entirely of stacked wooden crates. The buildings are tall and uneven, some leaning. The ground looks like rough fabric or woven material. Everything is drawn in black ink, with no color. The artist used tiny lines to build up shadows and shapes. This method is called cross-hatching. It makes the crates look solid and three-dimensional. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with just lines.
