Untitled is a 1974 graphite by Jacques Charlier, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is packed with quick, sketchy faces all looking in different directions. Some people are talking, others are laughing or shouting, all crammed into one busy scene. The lines are thick and uneven, like someone doodled fast but didn’t erase anything. Words in French and English pop up everywhere—some are speech bubbles, others are just scribbled notes. One weird detail: a few faces have wild hair or glasses, while others look tired or confused. The mix of serious and silly expressions makes the whole thing feel chaotic but lively. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s how artists build shadows with layers of lines.
