Untitled is a 1920 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a strange, geometric room with sharp angles. The floor and walls are made of repeating lines and squares, like a maze. In the center sits a small, round table with a chess piece on it. The whole scene feels like a puzzle—nothing looks quite real. The artist used a printing method called etching to create this effect. Check out lithography to see how other artists used similar techniques.
