Untitled is a 1971 graphite by Jan J. Schoonhoven, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple, gray-toned rectangle on paper. The background is filled with tiny, crisscrossed lines that create a textured, almost woven look. Inside the rectangle, the lines are slightly lighter, making it stand out. The artist used a method where lots of parallel lines overlap to build up shading. This makes the whole piece look like it’s made of layers. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create depth.
