Untitled is a 1917 ink by Francis Picabia, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a simple stick-figure body with big, round dots for joints. The arms and legs are bent in odd angles, and the hands end in small circles. Two of the dots—at the wrists—have swirls around them, like tiny wheels or eyes. The lines are all black ink on light paper, with no shading or color. The signature in the corner reads *"F. Picabia. 17"*, which matches the year 1917. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
