Untitled is a 1924 watercolor by Willi Baumeister, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a mix of buildings and power lines. There’s a tall, dark rectangle in the center, maybe a chimney or tower, with diagonal lines cutting through it. To the left, a window shows a wavy shape inside—like a plant or smoke. On the right, another window frames a simple zigzag line. Wires stretch across the top, holding symbols like a clock and a lightbulb. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel like a quick study, not a finished drawing. The artist used different marks—some sharp, some blurry—to show depth without detail. If you like this style, check out Willi Baumeister.
