Untitled is a 1921 ink by Ralston Crawford, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is all sharp angles and flat colors. Two vertical rectangles stand side by side. One is split by a thick black line down the middle, with a blue triangle on the left and a beige triangle on the right. The other has a single blue circle on a beige background. Black lines cut through both shapes like cracks. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to make it look almost like a puzzle. The lines don’t quite meet up, which adds a sense of movement. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Ralston Crawford (1906–1978) was a Canadian-born American painter, lithographer, photographer, and teacher.
