Untitled is a 1990 ink by John Newman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a dark, tangled shape in the center. It looks like a mix of squiggles and rough circles, with some small dots and lines inside. The background is a light gray with faint, wavy marks all around. The artist used a mix of scratchy lines and smooth shading to create depth. The dark center stands out against the lighter, sketchy background. Look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how these techniques work.
