Untitled is a 1987 ink by Markus Raetz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This picture shows two wavy, brown lines tangled together with blue lines weaving between them. The background is plain white, and the whole thing looks like it was drawn with ink or paint. The lines twist and loop in a loose, almost playful way. The artist used a printing method called aquatint, which lets ink spread softly for a smooth, watery look. The blue lines add a cool contrast to the warm browns, making the shapes stand out. Next, check out Markus Raetz to see how he played with shapes in other works.
