About this work

Overview

Untitled, a 2003 drawing by Fernando Bryce, consists of ten ink-on-paper pieces forming a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. Characterized by thick, uneven lines resembling hand-drawn cut-out shapes, the work contrasts sharply against a plain white background.

Subject & Meaning

The subject, a somber-faced man, is portrayed through a minimalist yet expressive approach, emphasizing the power of simple, bold lines in conveying emotion.

Technique & Style

Bryce employed an innovative technique, gluing together inked paper strips to create jagged, textured lines. This method, combined with cross-hatching for shading, adds depth and visual interest to the otherwise stark composition.

History & Provenance

Created in 2003, the work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
