Untitled is a 1979 ink by William Fares, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a fuzzy, gray shape in the middle of a white background. The edges are rough and uneven, like something sketched in pencil but raised slightly off the page. Tiny marks and lines scatter around, giving it a textured, almost bumpy look. The artist used a stencil and embossing to create this raised surface—you can almost feel the slight bump where the shape stands out. It’s not a clear picture of anything real, just an abstract form. Next, check out etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make similar textures.
