Untitled is a 1962 ink by William Scott, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a dark blue square with a few simple shapes inside. There’s a big white circle on the right, a smaller white ring near the middle, and some scattered dots and lines. Two thin, light-colored bars stand at the edges like bookends. The background has a rough, textured look, almost like it was rubbed with a grainy tool. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a smooth stone before pressing paper onto it. That’s why the lines and shapes feel slightly uneven, like they were made by hand. Try looking up lithography to see how this technique works.
