Untitled is a 1932 ink by Willi Baumeister, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white drawing with simple shapes and bold lines. A tall, narrow figure stands on the left, its limbs bent in a way that looks both stiff and alive. To the right, a large oval shape floats like a cloud, with smaller circles and a dotted line connecting it to the figure. A small black rectangle with a crescent moon sits in the top corner. The artist played with balance—some parts feel heavy, others light. The lines are clean, but the forms twist in unexpected ways. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
