1901
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1901 ink by Francis Picabia, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two small boats floating on calm water near a dock. One boat is empty, while the other has a person standing in it. In the background, there’s a simple building with a few windows and a tree with bare branches. The sky is light, with wispy clouds and some quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a loose, almost hurried style—like quick pencil strokes—to capture the scene. The lines are uneven, giving it a raw, unfinished feel. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
Francis Picabia (French: : born Francis-Marie Martinez de Picabia; 22 January 1879 – 30 November 1953) was a French avant-garde painter, writer, filmmaker, magazine publisher, poet, and typographist closely associated with Dada.
