Untitled is a 1985 charcoal by George Condo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a busy, dreamlike scene with odd, exaggerated faces and figures. The lines are loose and wobbly, almost like scribbles. Some people have big heads with small bodies, and there’s a black bird perched on a branch. The background has swirling shapes that might be trees or clouds, but they’re hard to tell. The artist seems to have mixed drawing styles—some parts look rough and sketchy, while others are more defined. The whole thing feels a little chaotic, like a quick, messy idea turned into art. If you like this style, check out George Condo for more work like this.
