Untitled is a 2005 ink by James Siena, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a close-up of a building’s wall made of repeating blocks. The blocks have rounded edges and a mix of hollow and solid shapes. Thin red lines outline the edges, while the inside is filled with soft yellow and light blue tones. The whole thing looks like a grid of connected cubes, stacked neatly. The artist used simple colors and clean lines to focus on the shapes. The blocks don’t look real—they’re more like a pattern or a puzzle. It’s not a photo; it’s drawn in a way that feels almost like a map or a diagram. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
