Untitled is a 2008 ink by Jasper Johns, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a series of abstract shapes arranged in two rows. The top row has a jagged, irregular form with a small figure inside it, while the bottom row features six circular shapes with lines and dots radiating outward. The whole piece is drawn in black and gray ink on a light background, with some areas left blank. The artist used a mix of printing techniques to create these images, including etching and screenprinting. The lines and shapes feel both precise and slightly messy, like they were drawn quickly but carefully. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints with stone and ink.
