Untitled is a 1988 ink by Grisha Bruskin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows four strange, blocky figures against a busy background of scribbled words. Two figures are red, one gray, and one has a single big red eye with horns. The shapes are simple—triangles, rectangles—like rough drawings. The words around them look like notes or a mix of languages, some crossed out. The figures don’t look human or animal, but more like symbols or jokes. The scribbles might be a way to fill space or add meaning, but they’re hard to read. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
