Untitled is a 2003 graphite by Benjamin Degen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a crumbling ruin with a tall, broken temple in the background. The ground is littered with scattered stones and blocks, some stacked unevenly. Thin red lines weave through the scene like ropes, connecting the rocks in a loose, tangled path. The artist used pencil shading to create depth, making the ruins look worn and uneven. The red lines stand out against the gray tones, adding a strange, almost playful touch. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
Benjamin Degen (b. 1976) was an American artist, born in Brooklyn.
