Untitled is a 1936 ink by Rudolf Kügler, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a cluster of odd, stacked buildings under a bright blue sky. The structures lean together, with some looking like they’re made of flat shapes and others more like crumpled paper. A few have arched windows or doorways, and one tall tower stands out in the middle. The colors are mostly muted grays and blues, with a pale moon floating above. The artist used a method called *aquatint* to create soft, shadowy tones in the buildings. This technique lets ink spread in a way that mimics watercolor, giving the scene a dreamy, slightly fuzzy look. Check out how *etching, drypoint, aquatint* work next.
Rudolf Kügler (1921–2013) was a German artist, born in Berlin.
