Untitled is a 1929 ink by Davis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a city street with tall buildings packed close together. The shapes are simple and bold—black blocks for windows, flat roofs, and signs that say "HOTEL." Streetlights and a fire escape are drawn in sharp lines. The colors are mostly black, white, and gray, but there’s a hint of red on one hotel sign. The artist used a grid-like pattern in the background, making the scene feel almost like a puzzle. The buildings lean slightly, giving the whole picture a tilted, off-balance look.
