Untitled is a 1965 ink by Jack Tworkov, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a rough, jagged shape. The top half is a solid, dark block with quick, uneven strokes. Below it, sharp lines fan out like a skirt or a curtain, but they’re messy and uneven. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone before pressing it onto paper. That’s why the lines look both thick and slightly fuzzy. Look up lithography to see how this process works.
