Untitled is a 1937 ink by Roger Vieillard, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a wireframe building with crisscrossed lines everywhere—like a skeleton of a structure. Inside, you can spot a few tiny shapes that look like people or machines, but they’re hard to make out. The walls are see-through, revealing gears, pipes, and an odd sign that says "FORPES." Outside, there’s a low wall and some faint buildings in the background. The artist used lots of thin, repeated lines to fill in the shapes, which makes the whole thing look almost like a blueprint. This style is called cross-hatching, where layers of lines create shadows and depth without color. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how other artists used this technique.
Roger Vieillard (1907–1989) was a French artist, born in Le Mans.
