Untitled is a 1935 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This lithograph presents a cityscape in a loose, sketchy style. The buildings are rendered in a range of grays, with some details suggested by lines and shading. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the city is alive and in motion. In the foreground, a few buildings stand out, their facades and roofs visible in some detail. The background is more impressionistic, with buildings and skyscrapers blending together into a hazy, grayish-brown mass. The sky above is a deep gray, with a few streaks of lighter gray suggesting clouds or mist. The lithograph is a beautiful example of Villon's skill with the medium.
