Untitled is a 1966 ink by Dieter Roth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two faces that look like they’re melting or twisting into each other. The lines are wavy and tangled, almost like they’re stuck together. There’s no clear background—just a mix of black ink and white paper, with some handwritten words in the middle. The faces don’t have eyes or mouths, just smooth shapes with a few dark spots. The words written in the center are in German, but they’re small and hard to read. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use ink and metal plates to make prints.
