Untitled
1973
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1973 ink by Gego, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a grid of tiny orange squares covering the whole page. In the middle, a wavy, dark line cuts through the grid like a crack or a path. The line is uneven, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, and it splits near the bottom into two smaller lines. The grid makes the drawing feel precise, but the line looks handmade and messy. It’s like a puzzle where the rules are strict, but the result is free. Try looking up lithography next to see how artists use this printing trick.
Gertrud Louise Goldschmidt (1 August 1912 – 17 September 1994), known as Gego, was a modern German-Venezuelan visual artist.
