Untitled is a 1963 ink by Hans Hartung, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a tangle of thin, white lines crisscrossing a black background. The lines look like they’re scribbled fast and free, some overlapping, others branching off. The edges of the paper are plain, with a light border framing the chaos inside. The artist made this using a printmaking method where ink is rolled onto a stone or metal plate. The lines might feel messy, but they’re carefully controlled—each stroke intentional. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it works.
