Untitled is a 1920 ink by Johannes Itten, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a strange, blocky house sitting in a grassy yard. The building has sharp corners and flat surfaces, with some dark squares that look like windows or doors. The roof is flat too, with a small tower on top. The lines are simple and the whole scene looks like a sketch. The artist used only black and white, making the shapes stand out clearly. The way the house is drawn feels more like a design than a real place. Want to know more? Check out how this was made using lithography.
Johannes Itten was a Swiss expressionist painter, designer, teacher, writer and theorist associated with the Bauhaus school.
