Untitled is a 1961 wood by Jesús Rafael Soto, a Kinetic Art work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a wall made of lots of thin, black lines—some straight, some wavy—with a few small blue squares scattered in the middle. The lines are close together, creating a grid-like pattern. The blue squares stand out against the dark background, but they’re small and simple. The whole thing is built with real wire and metal, painted black and blue. It’s not a flat picture—it’s almost like a 3D wall you could walk up to.

Jesús Rafael Soto (June 5, 1923 – January 14, 2005) was a Venezuelan kinetic and op artist, sculptor, and painter.
