Untitled is a 1985 ink by Howard Finster, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is packed with tall, skinny towers and strange figures climbing them. Tiny people float near the spires, which look like they’re melting or growing. Words like *"visions of other worlds"* and *"heaven and hell"* are scribbled everywhere, mixed with doodles of clouds, flying saucers, and explosions. The lines are quick and messy, like someone was drawing fast with a pencil or marker. The artist crammed in so many ideas—religion, space, chaos—that it feels like a crowded dream. The date and name *"Howard Finster"* are tucked in the corner, signed like a secret note. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
