Untitled is a 1977 ink by Liliana Porter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a dark background with a glowing gold circle labeled *"la lune"* (the moon in French). Four diagonal lines cut across it, forming an X shape, and each corner has a faint word: *"l'Ascia"*, *"la Neige"*, and *"le Ciel."* The lines are a pale blue-green, almost glowing against the shadowy space. The moon is the brightest spot, standing out like a beacon. The words in the corners might hint at sky, snow, and tools—though it’s unclear what they mean together. The whole thing feels like a puzzle or a secret map. If you like this, look up etching to see how artists like this make prints.
