Untitled is a 1931 ink by Paul Klee, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a tall, skinny figure made of sharp lines and shapes. The body is a mix of triangles, circles, and jagged edges stacked unevenly. The head is just a few lines with a feather or crown on top, and the legs are two blocks with crisscrossed lines. The whole thing looks like it’s floating against a plain, gray background. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit in scratched lines, creating a grainy look. The title is just "Untitled," but the date is written in the corner. Look up etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints.
Paul Klee (German: ; 18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was a Swiss-born German artist.
