Untitled is a 1992 ink by Bill Jensen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks messy on purpose. Dark ink splatters and scribbles fill the page—no clear shapes, just swirls and smudges. Some areas are thick and heavy, while others fade into pale blobs. The whole thing feels rough, like someone dipped a brush in ink and dragged it wildly across the paper. The artist didn’t try to hide the process. Every stroke, smudge, and accidental mark stays put. It’s all just ink on paper, no tricks. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
