Untitled is a 1925 ink by Willi Baumeister, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a mix of shapes and colors. There’s a tall black form with a white circle on it, leaning against a red rectangle. A blue shape sits below, and a skinny black line cuts through the middle. The background is light with a few curved lines and a small red dot. The artist used flat colors and sharp edges to build the image. It feels more like a puzzle than a realistic scene. If you like this style, check out lithography.
