Untitled is a 1971 ink by Claes Oldenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a close-up face with a big green hat. The mouth is open, tongue sticking out. The face is simple, but the hat looks soft and squishy. Around the face are small sketches of doors, windows, and a light switch. The artist drew tiny diagrams like blueprints mixed into the portrait. It’s like the face is part of a building plan. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Claes Oldenburg (January 28, 1929 – July 18, 2022) was a Swedish-born American sculptor best known for his public art installations, typically featuring large replicas of everyday objects.
