Untitled is a 1968 ink by John Battan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a printed page with text and small purple decorative boxes. The title reads *"Ode to London"* with the subtitle *"a meaning bridge."* Below it, a list redefines everyday words—like calling "cooks" *"wristwatches"* and "water" *"cup."* There’s also a short story about two characters and their struggles, dated *"New York City / January 17, 1967."* The words are arranged in a playful, almost game-like way. The text feels like a mix of humor and wordplay, with no traditional art style here—just type and simple designs. If you like this kind of creative wordplay, look up lithography.
