Untitled is a 1995 graphite by Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two simple shapes inside a framed box. On the left, a single axe head leans against a yellow background. On the right, a green field holds three long sticks—two lying flat, one standing like a broken pole. The edges are outlined in blue, and the paper around it is filled with messy scribbles in black and red. The title written in French means "the invention of axes," hinting this might be about tools or creation. The colors are bright but rough, like a quick sketch. Look up Frédéric Bruly Bouabré to see more of his work.
Frédéric Bruly Bouabré (1923–2014) was an Ivorian artist, born in Idibouo-Zépréguhé.
