Untitled is a 1991 graphite by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows four colored squares—two yellow, one blue, one brown—floating on a white page. Around them are big, loose letters like "&" and "()", written in the same colors. Small notes in pencil label each square and scribble ideas like *"movement with no visible vector."* The artist used simple shapes and words to make you think. The notes hint this isn’t just decoration—it’s about how colors and symbols can feel alive even when they’re still. Look up Lawrence Weiner to see more of his word-and-shape art.
