Untitled is a 1981 gouache by Howard Hodgkin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a square design made of sharp black lines and dots on a light background. The lines form a border and crisscross inside, creating a maze-like shape. In the center, a cluster of black circles sits against a lighter, almost grayish area. The artist used a mix of thin lines and bold dots to build up the pattern, giving it a busy but balanced look. The way the lines meet and overlap suggests careful planning. If you like this kind of abstract mark-making, look up lithography next.
