Untitled is a 1920 watercolor by Raoul Hausmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a city pulled apart. Buildings tilt at weird angles, as if someone stretched them like taffy. A tall green pole leans in the foreground, and a globe labeled "Paris" sits in the corner. Tiny stick-figure people climb a spiral staircase inside one building, while another box shows a dome and more odd angles. The words "PROSTÁ CVIČENÍ MUŽU" (which means "simple exercises for men") hint this might be a playful way to break down how we see space. The drawing feels like a puzzle—nothing quite lines up right. If you like this, check out Raoul Hausmann.
