Untitled is a 1984 ink by August Walla, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two strange, stick-figure-like people standing side by side. One looks like a tall, lanky human with a hat and a cane, while the other has a big, toothy lion’s face with a grin. Both are drawn with sharp, uneven lines and filled with crisscrossed patterns—like armor or fabric. Below them, the artist scribbled *"Augus, Alois, Walla!"* in messy handwriting. The lion-man’s face stands out—it’s almost cartoonish, with big, simple shapes. The whole thing feels raw and quick, like a doodle that got turned into art. If you like this style, check out how the artist made it using etching.
August Walla (1936–2001) was an Austrian artist, born in Klosterneuburg.
