Untitled is a 1964 pastel by Hannah Wilke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two faces close together, but they’re not quite clear. One face has a red shape where its mouth should be, and the other has a blue one. The lines are scratchy and messy, like they were drawn fast. There’s a green curve near the first face’s eye, and the whole thing feels a little rough around the edges. The artist used pastel and charcoal, which makes the colors soft but the lines fuzzy. The faces don’t look real—they’re more like quick sketches or maybe even a joke.
