From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1912 graphite by Erich Heckel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person lying down with their head resting on one arm. They’re wearing a hat with a wide brim and a loose shirt. The lines are rough and wavy, like quick pencil strokes. The background is mostly empty, with just a few scattered marks. The drawing feels unfinished, almost like a sketch you’d make fast. The artist used simple shapes and bold lines to show the person’s pose. Look up Erich Heckel next to see more of his work.
Erich Heckel (31 July 1883 – 27 January 1970) was a German painter and printmaker, and a founding member of the group Die Brücke ("The Bridge") which existed 1905–1913.
