Untitled is a 2016 ink by James Siena, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece is a simple black-and-white drawing of a city map. The lines are thin and crisscrossed, forming a tangled web of streets. The whole thing is outlined in a light red ink, making the roads stand out against the white background. The artist used tiny, repeated strokes to fill in the shapes—almost like a sketch gone dense. It’s not a pretty cityscape; it’s more about the mess of lines than the actual place. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
