Untitled is a 1933 graphite by Joan Miró, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows nine small, cut-out images of machines and tools glued onto light paper. Some pieces look like lathes, others like drills or odd-shaped metal parts. The colors are mostly browns, grays, and blues, with a few orange lines added to one machine. The shapes are simple and rough, like they were torn from old manuals or blueprints. The artist pasted these images together, mixing real machine parts with a sketchy, almost childlike style. It feels like a puzzle of industry—no people, just tools and their strange details. If you like this, look up Joan Miró.
