Untitled is a 2001 oil by Glenn Ligon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing mixes scribbles and words in bright colors. On the left, a wobbly tree shelters a person and a cat on a swing. To the right, a man holds a sun, and below him, a woman and child are labeled "Mother" and "man." Scattered around are simple drawings of milk, a truck, corn, and cash, all written in bold letters. The words and images feel like a mix of a child’s doodle and a grown-up’s notes. The paper even has printed text about "Zululand" in the corner.
