Untitled is a 2000 ink by James Siena, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows nine identical rectangles stacked in three rows. Each rectangle has a grid of small, curved shapes inside—like tiny, repeating bowls or cups. The lines are light and sketchy, almost like a quick pencil doodle. The whole thing looks simple but feels deliberate. The shapes are empty, and the lines don’t quite connect, giving it a rough, handmade feel. If you like this, check out etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints like this.
