About this work
Overview
Untitled is a print by Varvara Rodchenko, created around 1978, and is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts two open book pages with black backgrounds, featuring white, hand-drawn-like lines that form abstract, looping shapes. The central text is in Russian, but the dominant visual element is the intricate network of lines.
Technique & Style
The lines, which resemble swirling ropes or unfinished circuits, were created using letterpress, a printing technique that gives them a distinctive, tactile quality despite their appearance of being hand-drawn.
