Untitled is a 1920 graphite by Hans Richter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a long, narrow strip of paper filled with tiny buildings and shapes. Some look like simple boxes, others are stacked or tilted. A few have tiny windows or doors, and some are drawn in dark pencil while others are faint. The background is mostly blank, with just a few lines scattered here and there. The artist seems to play with how things fit together—some buildings lean, others float. The drawing feels like a quick, loose idea rather than a finished plan. If you like this, check out Hans Richter.
Hans Johannes Siegfried Richter was a German Dada painter, graphic artist, avant-garde film producer, and art historian.
