Untitled is a 1970 ink by Clayton Pond, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows three old dental tools in bright blue, red, and pink lines. Each tool looks like a metal clamp holding a set of teeth—some with handles, some with wheels and gears. The lines are simple and sketchy, almost like blueprints. The tools aren’t fancy; they look like they’re from a time when dentists used machines more than hand tools. The colors make them stand out against the plain white background. If you like this style, check out how lithography works.
