From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1970 graphite by Gordon Matta-Clark, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a tree with scribbled words and shapes all around it. The trunk is thin and made of quick, messy lines in brown and red. The branches spread out into two big, leafy ovals filled with green, blue, and black marks that almost look like writing or doodles. The artist packed the paper with tiny dots and lines, making the leaves feel dense. It’s like the tree is bursting with energy. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
