Untitled is a 1965 ink by Galina Bitt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all sharp black lines and white space. The design looks like a maze of squares and rectangles stacked inside each other, getting smaller toward the center. The edges are thick and bold, while the middle fades into tiny, almost invisible lines. The whole thing is made from screenprinting—ink pushed through a stencil onto paper. The way the shapes repeat and shrink draws your eye right to the middle. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
