From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1952 ink by Jean Dubuffet, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a messy, scribbled map of a city or brain. Thick black lines fill the whole page, overlapping in spots and leaving small gaps. The edges are uneven, like someone tore the paper or the ink bled. There’s no clear shape—just tangled lines, dots, and blobs. The artist signed it in the corner, but it’s hard to read. The ink is dark and uneven, almost like a sketch that got smudged. It feels raw, not polished. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet (French pronunciation: ; 31 July 1901 – 12 May 1985) was a French painter and sculptor of the École de Paris (School of Paris).
