Untitled is a 1930 ink by Kurt Schwitters, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a small, fuzzy rectangle of gray and black marks on a light background. The lines are uneven, almost like scribbles or smudges, with some darker patches in the middle. The edges of the paper are plain and uncolored. The artist used black ink on paper, almost like a sketch gone wrong—but it’s deliberate. The signature in the corner says "Kurt Schwitters 1930," so this isn’t a mistake. If you like this kind of abstract work, look up Kurt Schwitters next.
