Untitled is a 1955 ink by Jesús Rafael Soto, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece looks like two clear boxes stuck together. Inside, there are black and white lines—some straight, some curved—that swirl around like a maze. Tiny colored dots (red and blue) sit on the edges, almost like markers. The lines create a 3D effect even though it’s flat. Moving your head changes how the shapes look, like they’re popping out. Look up Jesús Rafael Soto next—he loved making art that plays with how we see space.
Jesús Rafael Soto (June 5, 1923 – January 14, 2005) was a Venezuelan kinetic and op artist, sculptor, and painter.
