Untitled is a 1956 ink by John Hultberg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a tilted, empty room with odd angles. One wall is all black, while the other side has a window and a door. Inside, you can barely see a couch, a table, and a lamp—all drawn in quick, uneven lines. The floor looks like it’s slanting away. The artist used sharp contrasts between light and dark to make the space feel off-kilter. The lines are rough, like a quick sketch, but the black areas stand out strongly. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
John Hultberg was an American Abstract expressionist and Abstract realist painter. Early in his career he was related to the Bay Area Figurative Movement; he was also a lecturer and playwright.
