Untitled is a 1964 silver by Ben Vautier George Maciunas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a black-and-white image with a large cross in the center. The cross is made up of many small dots, and it's divided into four sections by two lines that intersect in the middle. The background is a light color, and the cross is darker. The dots that make up the cross are arranged in a way that creates a sense of depth and texture. The lines that divide the cross into sections are thin and precise, and they add to the overall sense of order and structure in the painting. The use of dots to create the cross is reminiscent of the technique of pointillism, which was popularized by artists like Georges Seurat.
