Untitled is a 1955 ink by Carybé, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a person hanging upside down from ropes tied to two tall poles. Below them, scattered on the ground, are simple shapes: a fish, a bird, a vase, and a few other odd objects. The lines are dark and rough, with some areas filled in with ink. The person’s face is blurred, and the whole scene feels a little strange and dreamlike. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to make everything look loose and unfinished. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
