Untitled is a 1913 ink by Kazimir Malevich, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a tangled mess of lines and shapes. Sharp angles crisscross the page, forming jagged blocks and streaks. Some areas are dark, almost like shadows, while others stay light and sketchy. It’s all in black and white, with no clear focus—just a chaotic jumble of marks. The lines feel hurried, like they were drawn fast or even erased and redrawn. There’s no obvious subject, just pure abstraction. The title isn’t even given, which makes it feel even more experimental. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists use it to create bold, graphic images.
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (23 February 1879 – 15 May 1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose work and writings pioneered the development of abstract painting in the 20th century.
