Untitled is a 1932 ink by Davis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is a tangled mix of shapes and lines. You see a few rough figures—some look like people, others like furniture or objects—but nothing is clear. The lines overlap in a messy grid, with circles, rectangles, and odd angles scattered everywhere. The whole thing is drawn in ink on light paper, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist packed a lot into this small space, almost like a puzzle with no right answer. The lines don’t follow any rules, and the shapes don’t match what you’d expect in real life. Check out Stuart Davis to see more of his bold, abstract style.
