Untitled is a 1964 crayon by Jasper Johns, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two tall, simple shapes on a flat base. One looks like a cup with quick, messy lines inside it—maybe scribbles or music notes. The other shape is just a smooth oval on its side. The background is a dark, rough block of color, and the whole thing sits on a light, uneven paper. The artist added crayon marks to a printed base, mixing two techniques. The messy lines on the cup feel like they were drawn fast, almost by accident. Try looking up *lithography* to see how prints like this are made.
