Untitled is a 1980 charcoal by Alan Cote, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all black lines and gray shapes on white paper. The lines are thick in some spots, thin in others, and they crisscross in wild angles. Some look like they’re stretching upward, while others twist or curve sharply. The gray areas behind them feel uneven, like smudged shadows. The artist used charcoal, which lets the lines stay loose and sketchy. You can almost see the hand moving quickly, as if the artist was drawing fast and free. Want to see more work like this?

Alan Cote (b. 1937) was an American artist, born in Connecticut.
