Untitled is a 1948 graphite by Thomas Wilfred, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a grid of tiny boxes, each filled with crisscrossing lines in red, blue, and green. Some lines are straight, others curve slightly. Tiny arrows point in different directions, and faint colors blur where the lines overlap. Numbers and degree marks label each box, like a map or chart. The whole thing looks like a study of light and movement, but there’s no clear picture—just patterns. The artist used colored pencil and ink to layer these lines carefully. If you like this, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shapes with lines.
