Untitled is a 1965 watercolor by Alberto Greco, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a page from a handwritten notebook. The writing is messy and uneven, in black and colored ink. There’s a big number "1" in the corner, and the text is about a princess and a fisherman, mixed with names like "The Beatles." Some words are underlined or circled, and the paper has stains and scribbles. The artist used different pens—ballpoint, felt-tip, even watercolor—to make the page feel raw and personal. It’s not polished; it’s more like a quick sketch than a finished work. If you like this style, check out Alberto Greco.
Alberto Greco (January 15 1931 – October 12 1965) was an Argentine artist who was instrumental in the development of conceptual art in Argentina, Brazil, and Spain.
