Untitled is a 2003 oil by Daniel Richter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a small, messy sketch in oil and pencil: a lumpy bird lying on its side against a dark background. Richter painted this quickly, almost like a doodle. The bird looks half-alive, half-drawn, as if it’s melting into the paper. The dark paint around it makes the white bird pop—like a flashlight in a dark room.
