Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Amy Gartrell, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a building cut in half, showing its inside. Pink lines and shapes fill the space, some straight, some jagged, like a maze of walls and floors. The colors are mostly pink, purple, and white, with rough edges that make it feel unfinished or scratched. The artist used ink and pencil on colored paper, layering lines to create depth. It’s not a clear picture of a real place—more like a dream or a sketch that got mixed up. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
