Untitled is a 1992 graphite by Jimmie Durham, depicting Letter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This work shows fourteen sheets of paper covered in pencil marks. They look like rough notes or sketches, not finished art. Durham used simple lines to make shapes that feel like faces or objects, but aren’t clear. The pages aren’t arranged in order, so the meaning stays open. It’s worth looking up Jimmie Durham to see how he mixed drawing with storytelling.
