Untitled is a 1929 ink by Wanda Gág, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows three squash-like gourds resting on a rough surface. Their bumpy skin and curled vines are drawn with quick, dark lines. The background is simple—just a few strokes to suggest leaves or shadows. The artist focused on texture, making each bump and crease look real. The lines overlap in some spots, giving the gourds a 3D feel. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
