Untitled is a 1910 chalk by Arthur Bowen Davies, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a hunched figure with its head buried in its arms, sitting on a rough, textured surface. The background is a deep blue-gray, and the figure is drawn in loose, smudged lines of white and gray chalk. A faint outline of another shape, maybe a person or animal, curls off to the side. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes—no fine details, just rough shapes and shadows. This style feels more like a quick idea than a finished work. If you like this loose, expressive style, check out Arthur B. Davies.
Arthur Bowen Davies (September 26, 1862 – October 24, 1928) was an avant-garde American artist and influential advocate of modern art in the United States c. 1910–1928.
