Untitled is a 1966 ink by Dimitri Petrovich Plavinsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is all black and white. You see lots of lines—some thick, some thin—crisscrossing in messy, tangled shapes. Big blocks of text in a foreign script sit like islands in the chaos. The lines look like they’re fighting each other, twisting into strange forms that almost look like faces or animals if you squint. The artist used ink to pile up lines on top of each other, making some areas darker. It’s like the lines are screaming or drowning out the words. No clear story here—just raw, busy energy.
