Untitled is a 1955 ink by Anthony Harrison, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a dark, grainy print of a single lit lamp on a table, its glow barely cutting through the black around it. Harrison made this in 1955, but the museum lists his birth year as 1965—so either the date or the birth year is wrong. The quiet mistake makes the work feel stranger, like a ghost that slipped through the records. To see how light can feel this lonely, look up the technique called chiaroscuro.
Anthony Harrison is an American former professional football player who was a safety for the Green Bay Packers in the National Football League (NFL).
