Untitled is a 1977 crayon by Jan Groth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a single, thin figure standing against a blank white background. The lines are loose and sketchy, like a quick doodle—just enough to make out a person with bent knees and arms crossed. The whole thing looks drawn in one go, with no extra shading or details. The simplicity here is the point. No colors, no depth, just raw lines on paper. It’s like the artist stripped everything away to leave only the basic shape. If you like this style, check out Jan Groth.
