Untitled is a 1928 gouache by Ivan Kliun, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This poster is made of black and gray letters cut out in different sizes and shapes. The words are arranged in a rough tower shape, with some letters overlapping or tilted. The background is plain beige paper, and the text lists names and a location in Russian. The names look like poets, and the poster says it’s from a theater in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). The year at the bottom is 1928, written in the same style as the rest. If you like this bold style, look up gouache to see how artists use it.
