Untitled is a 1970 graphite by Sol LeWitt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is a grid of tiny, even squares. The lines are made with ink and pencil, all the same shade of gray. The squares fill the whole paper, edge to edge, with no breaks or gaps. The bottom has a few faint scribbles—maybe numbers or notes—and a date stamp in the corner. The paper looks plain, but the grid is so precise it feels almost hypnotic. If you like this, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up tones with lines.
