Untitled is a 1962 chalk by Jack Roth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is a chaotic mix of faces and words. The figures look like they’re melting or twisting together, with sharp lines and dark shadows. Names like Faulkner, Hemingway, and Monroe are scattered across the paper in messy handwriting, almost like they’re part of the faces. The artist used chalk on paper, making the lines look rough and sketchy. It feels like a fast, raw idea dumped onto the page without smoothing out the edges. If you like this wild style, look up Jack Roth.
Jack Roth (1927–2004), also known as "Rodney Jack Roth", was an American painter who developed a style as an Abstract Expressionist, and as a Color Field painter.
