Untitled is a 1964 ink by Benny Andrews, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows four tall figures standing in a rough, rocky landscape. Three of them have their arms raised, holding what look like crosses or simple poles. The fourth figure kneels on the ground, pointing upward. The lines are loose and sketchy, like a quick pencil drawing. The figures’ faces are blurred, making them feel more like symbols than real people. The scene feels tense but also quiet, like something important is about to happen—or just did.
