Untitled is a 1967 graphite by José Ygnacio Bermúdez, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple, light-colored rectangle with faint lines inside. At the top, there’s a tiny, dark shape that looks like a cross or a small window. The lines below it spread out like rays or branches, all in a soft, grayish tone. The artist used a mix of scratching and shading to create the effect. The paper has a smooth, almost blank look, but the marks stand out in a quiet way. If you like this kind of minimal, precise work, look up cross-hatching next.
José Ygnacio Bermúdez (1922–1988) was a Cuban artist, born in Havana.
