Untitled is a 2003 graphite by Carol Bove, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a pale, ghostly figure floating against a plain white background. The shape is soft and blurry, almost like a shadow or a half-erased drawing. The lines are faint, with just a hint of detail—maybe a face, maybe just a suggestion of one. The artist used colored ink and pencil on thin, see-through paper, which makes the whole thing look airy. The figure doesn’t stand out sharply—it’s more like a whisper than a solid form. Want to see more like this? Check out Carol Bove’s other work.
