Untitled is a 1931 graphite by Josef Hesoun, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image looks like a collage. A person’s legs in a dark suit hang upside down from the top left corner. Below, a man in a light shirt sits with his head resting on his hand. A giant old movie camera looms over him, and a black-and-white photo of another person’s legs appears above. The background is a flat red-orange color, with bold black text in Czech. The text reads *"Dům Mizejících Pohárů"* (which roughly means "House of Vanishing Cups"). The mix of photos, text, and colors makes it feel like a movie poster or a puzzle. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see this collage in person.
