Untitled is a 1942 ink by Sonia Delaunay, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting has bold colors and sharp shapes. You see big circles—yellow, orange, and blue—stacked and overlapping. Black lines cut across them like cracks or waves. The background is plain white, so the colors pop even more. The artist used a linoleum block to carve these shapes. That means they cut away parts of the block to leave only the lines and colors you see. Look up lithography next to see how this printmaking technique works.
